Newcastle vs Tottenham preview, prediction, team news and head-to-head

The host are determined to climb into the European qualification places, while the visitors are desperate to keep chasing Arsenal for the EPL title.

After a sluggish start to the season, Newcastle United is beginning to claw back ground on the European spots, following a convincing 4-1 victory against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.

This result made them only the second visiting team to win there. They have gone on to win back-to-back games in the Premier League and have won three of their last five games in all competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur might be relieved to be playing away from home following a 2-1 defeat to Fulham that extended their poor London form.

Manager Thomas Frank is under increasing pressure, as Spurs have lost five of their last seven fixtures across all competitions.

However, Tottenham has since achieved their longest Premier League unbeaten streak outside of London since October 2022, securing ten out of a possible twelve points.

Newcastle United have dominated recent competitive fixtures, winning six of the last seven head-to-head games, giving them a significant edge.

Crucially, three of their four home victories in this period were by a margin of two or more goals. This suggests Newcastle's home performances against this rival often result in comfortable wins.

Their last encounter ended in a 2-0 win at St James Park in the EFL Cup in 2025 and their last EPL outing ended in a 2-1 away win for the Magpies.

Newcastle United are missing a number of important squad members through injury. Nick Pope, Sven Botman, William Osula, Emil Krafth, Kieran Trippier and Yoane Wissa are all unavailable, leaving Eddie Howe with limited depth across multiple positions.

Tottenham Hotspur also face significant absences. Kota Takai, Radu Dragusin, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke are all sidelined, reducing Ange Postecoglou’s options as he prepares his team for the match.

Newcastle United (4-3-3): Ramsdale; Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, Hall; Miley, Guimarães, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-4-2): Vicario; Porro, Danso, Van de Ven, Udogie; Kudus, Gray, Palhinha, Bergvall; Kolo Muani, Richarlison.
