Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction 10.02.2026 | Premier League

After finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, Tottenham expected much more, but they didn't make much progress. With 13 league rounds left, Tottenham are only six points above the drop zone. However, the last few weeks should show some signs of encouragement, as Thomas Frank's team was on a four-game unbeaten streak until Saturday, when Tottenham lost 2-0 on the road against Manchester United. Tottenham were competitive early on and looked capable of getting something from the match, but the game shifted dramatically after Cristian Romero was sent off in the first half. From that moment, United took complete control and left Frank's team empty-handed. 

Tottenham's manager, Thomas Frank, was under heavy pressure before the game at Old Trafford. After the defeat, voices about his sacking have become even louder, and it will not be surprising if he loses his job before the game against Newcastle. According to the media, Mauricio Pochettino emerged as the most serious candidate for the job. 

Tottenham have big problems with missing players. They will be without Cristian Romero, James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Richarlison, Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie, Dejan Kulusevski, and Kevin Danso on Tuesday night. Also, Djed Spence is questionable, and his status will be clearer closer to the kickoff. 

Newcastle have a disappointing season, too, as they expected much more than a mid-table finish. With every league round, the top four positions grow further apart, and it will be surprising if they get back into the race. Newcastle have one draw and four defeats in the last five matches across all competitions. In the most recent outing, they lost 3-2 at home against Brentford.

The fans booed Newcastle after another defeat, and the manager, Eddie Howe, took full responsibility after the home defeat against Brentford. He said, "I've always said the pressure I put on myself couldn't be more extreme because I demand really high standards from what I'm doing, how I work, what I ask the players to do, and I'm obviously not doing my job well enough at the moment. There's a harsh reality for me. I've got to think long and hard – not about my effort because I can't question that about myself – but I think I've got to work better, I've got to do more."

Fabian Schar, Valentino Livramento, Anthony Gordon, Emil Krafth, Joelinton, and Lewis Miley are injured and will not play on Tuesday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
