Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction, Lineups, Injuries, and Team News

The crucial Premier League contest awaits at St James' Park between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, with both sides eager to steady their seasons after periods of wildly contrasting results. Newcastle comes into the fixture on a high, having thrashed Everton 4-1 in their last outing, reinforcing their superb home form, which currently stands at six consecutive home wins. However, they have been inconsistent, with their last five matches including two defeats.

Meanwhile, Tottenham comes into this tie under a lot of pressure following their abysmal run.

A recent 1-2 home defeat against Fulham was their third straight loss across all competitions and a fifth defeat in seven matches. While history might favour the Magpies, who have won six out of the last seven meetings between these two teams, with mounting injuries that see both sides miss key personnel, this unpredictable tie will determine which climbs into the European spots.

And Nick Pope, who was left out of the Newcastle squad against Everton following his two costly mistakes in the defeat at Marseille, is unlikely to see his groin injury improve sufficiently to make him available for the Tottenham game. Newcastle's other injured players are former Spurs full-back Kieran Trippier (hamstring), Yoane Wissa (knee), Harrison Ashby (thigh), and Will Osula (ankle).

Newcastle vs Tottenham Injuries

Both Newcastle and Tottenham are suffering from quite an injury crisis at this point. Newcastle will have to do without some key defensive players: Kieran Trippier (hamstring), the central defensive duo of Sven Botman with a back problem, and goalkeeper Nick Pope, who is doubtful.

Tottenham's absentees are more concentrated in midfield and attack, with the long-term absence of creative engine James Maddison due to an ACL injury, aside from other important players like Dejan Kulusevski, Yves Bissouma, and Dominic Solanke.

Sportsdunia's Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction

This fixture pits Newcastle's high-tempo, aggressive pressing 4-3-3 against Tottenham's possession-focused, build-up play. Despite both teams' major injury concerns, Newcastle's formidable home record and their recent dominance over Spurs, in addition to Tottenham's poor run of form as mentioned in the Newcastle vs Tottenham preview, give the Magpies the edge. Expect an open, high-scoring affair, but the St James' Park atmosphere should push the home side to a narrow victory.
