Eddie Howe Newcastle Press Conference

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe addressed the media ahead of the Carabao Cup tie with Tottenham.

Injury Update

The Magpies will be without Livramento, Hall, and Wissa, while Botman is a doubt due to a head injury.

We’ve had a lot of great experiences in this competition, the first final, the emotions after the game, felt we could have done more on the pitch.

Past Experiences

Howe reflected on past experiences in the competition, including the Chelsea defeat, which he described as "still very painful".

We had a chance to win the competition that year, but we put it right. We had a lot of tough opponents; we didn’t get to the final by luck.

Howe also discussed the role of Tonali and his preference for Will to play, with a loan being the preferred option.
