Premier League
Newcastle and Tottenham have met in 12 competitive fixtures since 2020. Newcastle won six games, including four of their five most recent encounters, while Tottenham claimed four victories. The Magpies also claimed wins in each of their last four meetings at St James' Park.
Newcastle team overview
Newcastle return to home comforts after a superb 4:1 win against Everton last weekend. Three goals scored in a dominant first-half display ensured a first road victory of the season for Eddie Howe's side.
A reliable home record has stabilized Newcastle's inconsistent season. The Magpies won four of their last five Premier League games at St James' Park, including a superb 2:1 win against Manchester City two weeks ago.
High-scoring outcomes have been frequent in previous encounters between these sides. Each of their last nine Premier League contests finished with at least three goals scored. Newcastle's last six EPL games also finished with at least three goals scored.
A strong recent record in this fixture will give the hosts plenty of confidence. Newcastle won their last four competitive matches against Tottenham and four previous meetings on Tyneside.
Head coach Howe has half-a-dozen players still unavailable this week. William Osula, Yoane Wissa, Harrison Ashby and Kieran Trippier remain sidelined while Sven Botman is doubtful and will need a late fitness test. Emil Krafth is also unavailable for selection.

Tottenham team overview
Tottenham make the long trip to Newcastle after another disappointing home defeat at the hands of Fulham on Saturday. Two goals down inside the opening ten minutes, Thomas Frank's side slumped to a 2:1 reversal - their fourth home PL defeat of the season.
A miserable run of form has seen the visitors lose five and win just one of their last seven games across all competitions.
While Spurs home struggles have been well-documented, they have hardly hit the heights in recent road games. Tottenham shipped nine goals in their two most recent away games against Arsenal (4:1) and PSG (5:3).
Spurs boss Frank is likely to make some changes to his first XI this week. The Danish boss also has several injury issues with Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Radu Drăguşin all ruled out. Dominic Solanke is doubtful and will require a late fitness check.
