Pre-Match Tactical Narrative
This EFL Cup Round of 16 tie is perfectly balanced between two teams that prioritize attacking football. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle thrive on high pressing, quick counters, and set-piece precision, while Postecoglou’s Spurs rely on possession control and creative movement through midfield.
Newcastle are likely to press Tottenham’s backline early, looking to force turnovers and create quick chances for Nick Woltemade and Anthony Gordon. Tottenham, meanwhile, will look to maintain composure and build through the middle with Xavi Simons orchestrating attacks behind Son Heung-min.
The key tactical duel lies in midfield — if Newcastle can disrupt Spurs’ rhythm, they’ll control the tempo. However, if Tottenham find space between the lines, their technical players could swing momentum in their favor.
