Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction
Tottenham Hotspur begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just six points outside of the bottom three and the relegation places. Spurs’ 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford at the weekend means that they have now endured a six-match winless run of form despite a win away at Crystal Palace over the festive period.
Eddie Howe is beginning to feel a bit of pressure at St James’ Park, despite everything that he has done for the Magpies. Newcastle’s 3-2 loss at home to Brentford on Saturday was their third defeat in a row in the league and means they have won just one of their last nine matches inside 90 minutes across all competitions.
Spurs look to be in a bit of danger here and, despite the fact Newcastle are under pressure, the visitors will see this as a brilliant opportunity to finally turn things around.
Tottenham vs Newcastle tip: Double chance – Newcastle to win or draw
