Newcastle vs Tottenham predictions

Tottenham could play a major role in the outcome of the Premier League title race but their focus is on securing Champions League qualification in their first season under Ange Postecoglou.

Spurs kick off the weekend in fourth place, level on points with Aston Villa having played one game fewer, and their seven remaining fixtures include clashes with all three title contenders.

Their home game against Manchester City has been rescheduled for the final Tuesday of the season but they host north London rivals Arsenal on April 28 and head to Liverpool the following weekend, either side of a Thursday-night trip to Chelsea.

Spurs have claimed only six of their 18 league victories away from home this season but they have a good opportunity to bank three points against depleted hosts Newcastle.

The Magpies' hopes of qualifying for the Champions League again were dented by a run of six defeats in seven games in December and January, and their injury crisis shows no sign of easing.

Eddie Howe is likely to be missing an entire 11 of senior players this weekend and the absentees include key men Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, Sven Botman and Joelinton as well as the suspended Sandro Tonali.

Howe’s opposite number Postecoglou has also had an injury-hit squad for much of the season but Spurs are in good shape for the run-in, with Richarlison the only remaining key absentee.

Even without the Brazil international, Spurs’ potent frontline should cause problems for a makeshift Newcastle defence who ground out a 1-0 win at Fulham last weekend but have struggled against the stronger teams.

The Magpies have lost six of their seven games against sides starting the weekend in the top four, including a 4-1 defeat at Tottenham on December 10.

Spurs had 12 shots on target to Newcastle's three that day, and Brennan Johnson was twice denied by the woodwork, so Postecoglou's customary positive approach may well pay off in the north-east.

Newcastle have conceded 30 goals in 13 league matches since Christmas and their home form has tailed off after eight victories in their first nine games on their own patch this term.

They lost 3-1 to Nottingham Forest in December, drew 4-4 with Luton and 2-2 with Bournemouth in February, and had to come from 3-1 down to beat West Ham 4-3 on March 30.

Everton, winless in their previous 12 matches, pinched a late equaliser in Newcastle's last home match and Tottenham are worth backing to pick up a crucial victory before a testing run of fixtures.

Key stat

Newcastle have lost six of their seven Premier League matches against top-four clubs this season
