Spurs v Newcastle United - Match Facts

[Ragatino]

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has won six of his nine Premier League meetings with Spurs? Thomas Frank (D2 L1), with his 2.22 points-per-game against the Dane his best against any manager he has faced more than five times.

- Head to head Howe has Frank figured out.

Dominic Solanke has scored 13 goals in his last 19 home Premier League starts (4 in 6 for Bournemouth, 9 in 13 for Spurs), while he has netted in each of his last three appearances against Newcastle (4 goals).

- Slominic the Donkey appears to like a goal against the Toon. He'll have to be kept quite. I have faith in Botman to do so.

Against no side has Newcastle?s Anthony Gordon been involved in more Premier League goals than he has against Spurs (5 ? 3 goals, 2 assists), with these all coming in his last four appearances against them.

- Gordon needs a game and if he's fit, it would be appreciated if he'd bother to turn up in this one.

Newcastle United have won just two of their last 15 Premier League away games (D5 L8) and have lost their last three in London since a 1-0 win at West Ham in March last season.

- The curse of London has returned this season. Somehthing the team had ridden itself of

Since winning four of their first five home Premier League matches in the 2024-25 season, Tottenham have won just four out of 26 games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (D7 L15).

- With NUFC being in such poor form away from home, Spurs away couldn't be a better opponent to face right now.

Newcastle have won six of their last eight midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs) Premier League games (D1 L1), netting 22 goals in total in these matches (2.8 per game).

- The lads like a night match under the lights

Tottenham are winless in their last 11 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League games (D3 L8), their longest run in the competition?s history. Their last victory was against Brentford in January 2024 (3-2).

- Spurs are shocking midweek

Newcastle v Tottenham Hotspur is the most played Premier League fixture never to finish 0-0 (61 times), while it?s the fourth highest scoring fixture in the competition?s history (196 goals) after Liverpool v Spurs (209), Arsenal v Liverpool (199) and Liverpool v Newcastle (198).

- It won't end 0-0

Against no team have Newcastle won more Premier League games overall (27, level with Aston Villa) or away from home (12, level with West Ham) than they have against Spurs.

- Overall Newcastle United beat Spurs

Spurs have lost five of their last seven Premier League games against Newcastle (W1 D1), just one fewer defeat than they?d suffered in their previous 23 against the Magpies (W13 D4 L6).

- The competitive nature of the rivalry has shifted since Eddie came in.

Spurs Injuries:
James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Bergvall, Pedro Porro, Richarlison, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies or Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso, Destiny Udogie.

Romero is suspended:
Spudz captain Romero is suspended for 4 games after seeing red at the swamop.

Only positive in terms of fitness is Djed two pence.
Spurs, though, as it was confirmed that Djed Spence would be fit enough to feature on Tuesday.

No better time to play a club in complete disarray and turmoil.

After the last game, the players owe Eddie and the fans. HOWAY THE LADS, a bit of pride on the road.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day!

Haha. Spurs were poor, mind. I didnt expect that. Its not surprising they sacked him as it seems a crime to put on a performance like that in such a stadium.

It'll be a great venue for the like of QPR, Charlton and Pompy next season in the Championship ahaha

[HughieG]

I sincerely hope Spurs go down. Their self-image simply does not align with their recent history or their abilities. The 'demand' they have to be considered a top, top team with absolutely f*ck all to show for it, it makes me sick to my stomach.

They need a good few years in the Chimpo to get real again.

The financial hit would with their outstanding finance on the club could see them go into receivership.

Like you Hughie, I wouldn't cry for them. Front and centre with popcorn hahaha.

[Jammy89]

If they went down and Hammers with them (though I don't want Hammers to).

Can you imagine the reaction from London - particularly if no London club got promoted.

I think it would be brilliant.

It would be delicious to bin off the London Clubs, Brentford & Palace too ship them next season.

The clubs at the top of the Chimpo this season:

'Boro & Coventry looking like the Auto promotions.

Of the others in the hunt for a playoff shot I'd like to see Hull or Preston North End promoted.

Hull due to proximity to Newcastle & Preston due to the Heritage. Both being Northern teams. It's about time there was a resurgence of the traditional Northern Football Powerhouses. London bias is one of the modern toxins of the game.

[Jammy89]

I'd be very happy with Boro/Coventry and Preston, or Hull.

I wouldn't mind Milwall but since we're avoiding London clubs. . .

I don't want Wrexham to be honest.

[Zippity]

May I add that I'd rather the smoggies fucked off and went into administration.

Wrexham are a loathsome outfit. I dislike all the hype due to the Hollywood connection. Those two pricks could and should have acquired Notts County. A truly genuinely traditional club with heritage. It would be the one I'd elevate should I become subsequently wealthy.
