Referee ____ Mike Dean

Team Form ___ Spurs WDDWD ______ Newcastle LWWLL ___ (All Competitions)

We have won our last 4 English Premier League (EPL) matches aginat Newcastle, since a 1-5 defeat on the final day of the 2015-16 campaign. We have never won 5 consecutive league games against the Magpies. None of our last 21 EPL home games against Newcastle have ended as a draw (13 wins for us, 8 wins for them).

Newcastle won 4-0 vs Fulham on their last EPL visit to London in May - their biggest margin of victory in a EPL in the capital. They haven't won consecutively in London in the competition since a run of 4 victories between May 2013 and January 2014. They have won 21 EPL matches against us - only vs Aston Villa (22) have they enjoyed more victories in the competition. the Magpies have scored more goals against us than versus any other EPL team (73). Saying that, Steve bruce is looking to avoid becoming the first permanent Newcastle Manager to lose his opening 3 games in the EPL, following defeats to Arsenal and Norwich City.

We have won 23 points at home in 2019, 16 more than we have picked up on the road (23 home 7 away)- the biggest differential amongst EPL sides this calendar year. We have just lost once in our last 10 EPL home games (W7 D2 L1), picking up 7 victories including a 1-0 win over Newcastle in February. Poch (66% 63/96) has the best win ratio of any Spurs Manager in home league matches (min 15 games).

Kane has scored in just 2 of his 8 EPL appearances vs Newcastle, converting only 2 of his 23 shots against them - 8.7% conversion rate. Jonjo Shelvey has scored with 2 of his last 4 efforts at goal in the EPL. Before this, he had scored just 2 in his previous 136 shots in the competition.

This is Poch's 500th game as a manager in all competitions in his career. Excluding other "big six" sides, against no side has he lost more EPL games than he has against Newcastle

Lets hope so. Looking for 3 points but equally important a strong performance. Hopefully Son will be back for this one.

I haven't been more confident of getting three points since that time we scraped past Villa at home. I hope the Geordies have got their factor 50 on, because Son* is coming to get them!



*Nice little play on words. You know what I mean...

Perez and Rondon gone. Joselu gone. Joselinton and Saint-Maxim 75% chance of playing due to hip and hamstring injuries. We got this (y)

I'd like to see a 4123 formation with Ndombele and LoCelso each side of Winks. Not many problems fitiing the available players in with Dele out and Eriksen more interested in flashing his knickers at RM.

At this point of the season I honestly couldn't give a hoot about 'performance'...3 points is my everything, performances will come.

I can't see Son starting this one but hopefully he will get 30 mins or so. What's Dele's status? I really hope he will make the bench as well...

Wonder what on earth they thought when they didn't back benitez and appointed Bruce. ?‍♂️ Maybe they should bring back pardew as players wives liason.

Considering the way Bruce sets up his teams, this has got "frustrating afternoon" written all over it. Hopefully we'll start quickly, get an early goal and force them to play a little but as the minutes tick by I can already feel the angst and frustration from the fans if we struggle to break them down. I hope GLC starts and we can unpick them.

SB on injury news: “We hope that Allan Saint-Maximin is going to be OK. It’s still too early for Andy Carroll or Dwight Gayle, but Christian Atsu has been on the pitch this week. It was good to see him and see what he’ll offer us. Joelinton is fine.” #NUFC

I think I am safe in saying, we got this!

Nothing is guaranteed in the PL really. I just hope we set up with the capability to play expansive and creative football. I feel that if we set up like how we did against Villa we have the potential to make life difficult for ourselves regardless of who we play.

I just want a win I can enjoy? No dramas, go 2 up by half time, see out the second half and get Lo Celso involved somehow.

Would be nice right. To just see us winning by half time would be nice.
