Alexander-Arnold saw of Man Utd’s Tom Grennan 5-1
The winner of the match will face either Everton’s Andre Gomes or Man City’s Raheem Sterling in the semis.
The match kicks off at midday BST (11:00am GMT) and will be live on the Premier League’s Twitter and YouTube pages.
Atsu’s game over Sissoko was a cagey one but Atsu found the opener through Joelinton.
Moussa Sissoko found an equaliser for Tottenham, scoring himself and capping it off with a hilarious celebration.
With the match seemingly heading for a draw, Atsu found an 89th-minute winner to give Newcastle yet another win over Spurs this season.
Take a look at the scenes from the game including the late winner:
Joelinton scores against @SpursOfficial… again! 💪@ChristianAtsu20 has @NUFC 1-0 ahead at half-time

Here are some of the reactions to Atsu’s win:
Christian Atsu,
Oh he is so wonderful
When he scored a goal,
Oh it is beautiful, magical
When he runs down the wing he’s as fast as lightning, it’s frightening and he makes all the other boys go:
