Current Form and Team News
Tottenham
Tottenham’s injury woes continue as they sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table. Their recent 2-2 draw with Wolves saw them struggle defensively, with left-back Destiny Udogie joining a growing list of injured players. Manager Ange Postecoglou is facing a tough challenge as his side’s once-strong home form has disintegrated, with just one win in their last seven home games (D3, L3).
Newcastle
In stark contrast, Newcastle is flying high, sitting eight points above Spurs and chasing a return to the Champions League. A 2-0 victory at Old Trafford capped a run of four consecutive Premier League wins without conceding, a feat last achieved by the club in 2012. Eddie Howe’s side has been dominant, boasting three clean sheets in their last ten days and strong performances away from home.
Probable Line-Ups
Tottenham: Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Spence; Bissouma, Sarr; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke
Newcastle: Dubravka; Trippier, Schar, Burn, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Key players to watch
Dominic Solanke has been a revelation for Spurs, contributing significantly in recent games. His creativity and goalscoring ability will be crucial against Newcastle.
Alexander Isak continues to shine, becoming the third-fastest Newcastle player to achieve 50 Premier League goal involvements. He has scored in three of his four encounters with Spurs and will be a key threat.
Tottenham vs Newcastle Head-to-Head Record
- Newcastle has dominated recent meetings with Spurs, winning four of the last five encounters in the Premier League.
- Tottenham, however, won their previous home clash against Newcastle in the Premier League last season (4-1).
- Newcastle has won five of their last ten away league visits to Tottenham (D1, L4).
Match Predictions
Given Newcastle’s strong form and Tottenham’s injury struggles, the Magpies are favoured within bookmakers to win this clash. With four consecutive wins without conceding, Newcastle’s defence is in top shape, while Spurs’ recent home struggles and depleted squad make it difficult to expect a resurgence. However, Ange Postecoglou’s men showed that they can amplify their performance against strong opponents and their attacking players could be a real threat.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Newcastle.
