Newcastle United will welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St. James’ Park on Saturday for a one-on-one Premier League clash, with kickoff slated for 11:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Newcastle Pressing for European Places in the Run-In
Eddie Howe’s side are unbeaten in their last three outings in the Premier League, with two wins and a draw.
In their last five, they have won three times, drawn once, and lost once. They have amassed 47 points at this stage, after 31 rounds of fixtures, and they sit 8th on the table, 13 points off the top-four.
A tilt for the top-four is out of reach for the Magpies; however, they are still in with a chance to finish in a Europa league or Europa Conference League positions if they keep their form up in the latter stages of the season, starting with Saturday’s home clash against Tottenham.
Tottenham Looking to Retain their Top-Four Berth with an Away Win
Tottenham’s form, coupled with Aston Villa’s drop-off form, have seen the North Londoners climb into the top four on goal difference with a match in hand.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have 60 points after 31 rounds of fixtures, and they sit fourth on the table with seven matches to play.
Finishing inside the top-four will be crucial for Tottenham and this is a crucial goal ahead of their trip to Newcastle on Saturday.
Their form has been mixed in the last five outings; they have won three times, drawn once, and lost once.
