Thomas Frank will be desperate for victory when Tottenham travel to St. James\u2019 Park on Wednesday. <\/strong><\/p>\n Tottenham triumphed in a 3-0 win over Everton<\/a> on 26 October thanks to a brace from Micky van de Ven, taking them to third in the Premier League. <\/p>\n However, rest will be hard to come by, given that the Lilywhites will face Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup fourth round on 29 October. <\/p>\n Luca Williams-Barnett made his debut for Spurs<\/a> in their previous Carabao Cup win, but this will not be the kind of game to give rising stars another chance. <\/p>\n Randal Kolo Muani started for Tottenham against Everton<\/a>, and while he showed promising signs, he failed to net his first goal for the Lilywhites. <\/p>\n The French international did not take a single shot against the Toffees, according to Sofascore<\/a>. <\/p>\n In fact, most of his positive actions were defensive. Indeed, Kolo Muani<\/a> won 100 per cent of his tackles, made four recoveries and one clearance. <\/p>\n These stats are reflective of his own and Spurs\u2019 performance, and it is clear his teammates need to work harder to bring him into the game. <\/p>\n Nevertheless, Richarlison<\/a> assisted and missed a big chance worth 0.36 expected goals once he was subbed on. Making such an impact in 28 minutes played speaks volumes, and he\u2019ll likely start for Frank<\/a> with Wilson Odobert<\/a> beside him. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Xavi Simons<\/a> had another anonymous game for Spurs, which could see him replaced by Pape Matar Sarr<\/a>. <\/p>\n It has been suggested that injuries are the reason Sarr has failed to start for Frank<\/a> as of late. That reasoning seems to have placated fans for now, but there will be further questions if he is benched against Newcastle. <\/p>\n Lucas Bergvall<\/a> is expected to join him in the midfield, replacing Rodrigo Bentancur, who could do with some rest after his impressive display against the Toffees.<\/p>\n Guglielmo Vicario<\/a> should retain his starting spot, and Spurs\u2019 backline is set to remain unchanged. <\/p>\n Tottenham\u2019s away record will give fans hope <\/p>\n St. James\u2019 Park is never a nice destination to travel to, but Spurs\u2019 away form has been stellar this season. <\/p>\n The Lilywhites are unbeaten away from home in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, having only been defeated once by PSG in the UEFA Super Cup on penalties. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Newcastle have lost three times at home this season and Tottenham<\/a> will no doubt be looking to make it four on Wednesday. <\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?<\/strong> Stay connected with all the latest Tottenham Hotspur news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013 @tottenhamnews24<\/a>7<\/a><\/p>\n ![\"Tottenham](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Thomas-Frank-2-1024x576.jpg\")
