Newcastle have won eight of their last 12 matches in all competitions. A 2-0 home win over Benfica was followed by a 2-1 win over Fulham and a 2-0 home win over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. A 3-1 loss at West Ham highlighted the Toon’s away struggles.

A 2-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League was followed by a 3-1 loss at Brentford. Eddie Howe oversaw his first-ever career win over Man City, winning 2-1 at home. As usual, an away loss followed in a 2-1 defeat at Marseille. They finally bucked the trend by winning 4-1 at Everton on Saturday.

Newcastle Team News

Kieran Trippier and Emil Krafth are set to miss out due to injuries. Yoane Wissa is back in training but this match comes too soon for the forward.

Nick Pope is carrying an injury in goal so Aaron Ramsdale may get another start. Sven Botman is suffering from discomfort but may pass a fitness test to make the bench. Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon are pushing for recalls.

Newcastle Motivation

The Magpies are full of confidence at home. They will expect to beat a struggling Spurs side and won’t settle for a point.

Eddie Howe’s side will look to expose a frail Tottenham backline by getting numbers forward.

Tottenham Form

Spurs have lost six of their last ten matches. A 2-0 defeat at Newcastle was followed by a toothless 1-0 home defeat to Chelsea with just 0.10 xG produced. They beat FC Copenhagen 4-0 in Europe, but conceded in the 96^th minute to draw 2-2 at home versus Man Utd.

Three straight losses have followed for Tottenham. They lost 4-1 at Arsenal with just 0.07 xG produced before being smashed 5-3 away by PSG in the Champions League. On Saturday night, they lost 2-1 at home to a Fulham side who had been struggling on their travels.

Tottenham Team News

Spurs have Cristian Romero back in defence for this match after serving a suspension. James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke are ruled out in the attacking areas.

Yves Bissouma and Radu Dragusin are absent in midfield and defence respectively. Djed Spence and Rodrigo Bentancur are set to be recalled to the starting XI.

Tottenham Motivation

Spurs are in dire form and need a result here. Thomas Frank would probably see a draw as a good result.  

Tottenham have been leaking goals and looking impotent in attack at times. They can’t afford to open up against a speedy Newcastle attack.
