As Tottenham Hotspur prepare for their lengthy trip to the North East to take on Carabao Cup holders Newcastle United at St James' Park, all eyes are on manager Thomas Frank's team selection.

With a demanding schedule since the return of club football and an enticing Premier League derby against Chelsea looming, Frank will be mindful of the need to maintain his squad's energy levels.

However, the League Cup offers the Danish manager an opportunity to secure his first piece of silverware at the helm of Spurs, so it's unlikely he'll underestimate the competition, especially considering the calibre of the opposition.

With injuries to contend with, Frank must determine how best to manage his team over the next week, with rotation likely in key positions. Below are all the injuries both teams have going into Wednesday's game.
