Spurs improved from their Gtech Community Stadium showing with a 5-1 win over Charlton in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, the same night the Magpies managed to overcome West Brom 3-2 to advance into the third round.

Team news
Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons are all missing for Tottenham, who also have doubts over Pape Sarr and James Maddison.
New signing Savio made an instant impact when coming off the bench in Wednesday's EFL Cup win over Charlton, scoring once and registering an assist, and he is pushing for a start.
Pedro Porro and Micky van den Ven both made second-half cameos for their first minutes of the new season and they are in contention to start.
Sandro Tonali, who joined Spurs from Newcastle this summer, could line up against his former employers.
Dan Burn and Joelinton remain sidelined for Newcastle and they have been joined in the treatment room by Will Osula, who suffered a foot injury in the 2-2 draw against Liverpool.
New arrival Nico Gonzalez was unveiled at St James' Park before kick-off in Wednesday's 3-2 EFL Cup win over West Brom and he is expected to be named in the matchday squad.
The stats
Both teams to score landed in 13 of Tottenham's 19 home matches in the league last season.

Prediction
Tottenham's summer spending spree has provided more competition for places in the squad, but the new signings need time to bed in and the loss at Brentford highlights the work Roberto De Zerbi has to do.
Newcastle have made a positive start to life under Matthias Jaissle, drawing 2-2 at home to Liverpool after conceding a stoppage-time penalty and then beating West Brom 3-2 in the EFL Cup.
Attack seems to be the best form of defence for these two clubs and an entertaining contest is anticipated when they clash in the capital.
Spurs stuck five past Charlton on Wednesday, responding well to the defeat to the Bees, while the Magpies have scored that amount across their first two matches.
This fixture has not been short on goals, with both teams scoring in 12 of the last 13 top-flight meetings, and that selection forms the first part of this bet builder.
Part two is for there to be at least four goals, which seems likely given there were five in Spurs' win over Charlton and in both of Newcastle's outings this season.
With a free-flowing, end-to-end game expected, the corner count should rack up so round off this bet builder with over 12.5, which landed in both league meetings last season.
