Newcastle vs Tottenham Preview

This has all the makings of a sensational contest, with both teams picking up crucial Premier League wins on the weekend.

Tottenham won 3-0 at Everton thanks to an unexpected brace from Micky van de Ven, while Newcastle continued their stellar home form with a 2-1 victory over Fulham.

The Magpies have now won three consecutive matches at St James’ Park after previously beating Nottingham Forest (2-0) and Benfica (3-0).

So this is a sizable task for Spurs, despite their superb away form under Thomas Frank. The North Londoners are actually yet to lose on the road in any competition this season.

But their recent record at Newcastle is pretty woeful, suffering three consecutive defeats on Tyneside – including the infamous 6-1 thrashing in April 2023.

Frank will look to mastermind an end to the rotten run, though with Premier League and Champions League commitments on the horizon, both managers may look to rotate their teams tonight.

Eddie Howe is still without Yoane Wissa, Valentino Livramento and Lewis Hall, while Spurs’ injury issues are showing no signs of easing.

Dominic Solanke, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie and Yves Bissouma are all highly unlikely to make the trip up north, while James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies remain long-term absentees.

Newcastle vs Tottenham Betting Tips

Player to score or assist – Harvey Barnes @ 1.83

Barnes should be named in the Newcastle XI this evening, having not started any of the last five in the Premier League. He is yet to score in the top flight, but boasts three goals in as many matches in the Champions League, as well as an assist from the 4-1 win over Bradford in the Third Round.

Total goals – Under 2.5 @ 2.04

Spurs have shown defensive resilience on their travels with back-to-back clean sheets. Newcastle are also in the bottom half of the Premier League in terms of goals scored (9), so we could be in for a low-scoring thriller on Tyneside.

Yellow cards result – Tottenham @ 1.86

Newcastle have only collected nine yellow cards in the Premier League this season, the joint-lowest total alongside Arsenal. Meanwhile, Spurs’ yellow card count stands at 17, nearly double that of the Magpies. So this looks like a wise betting move to make.
