Team News

Younes Kaboul is doubtful due to a knee problem. Rafael Van der Vaart is suffering from a calf problem currently and might not play. Both Aaron Lennon and Jermain Defoe are doubtful for the match due to hamstring problems. William Gallas and Tom Huddlestone have already been ruled out for Tottenham.

Form

Tottenham has won just three of their last six fixtures in all competitions. In their most recent game, they drew 0-0 against Liverpool. In that match, Tottenham displayed their defensive strengths. Liverpool knocked on the door for 90 minutes but could not score only due to the resilience of Scott Parker, Michael Dawson, Ledley King and co.

Newcastle has won four out of their last six fixtures in all competitions. However, one of the two losses was a drubbing at the hands of Fulham. Newcastle proved that they are capable of claiming a top four spot when they beat Manchester United by three goals. In the previous match, their newest signing Papiss Demba Cisse scored a fabulous winner against Villa.

These are the last three results of both sides:

Liverpool 0-0 Tottenham
Tottenham 3-1 Wigan
Watford 0-1 Tottenham (FA Cup)

Brighton 1-0 Newcastle
Blackburn 0-2 Newcastle
Newcastle 2-1 Aston villa

Previous Meetings

Overall, the two sides have met 145 times in all competitions. Tottenham holds the upper hand with 60 wins. Newcastle has won 53 times with the rest of the 32 meetings ending in a draw. Tottenham has scored 226 goals against Newcastle and conceded 215. If these stats are anything to go by, we should expect a fairly even battle when these sides play each other.

Earlier this season, when the two teams met, the result was a 2-2 draw at Tyneside. Van der Vaart and Defoe scored for Spurs while Demba Ba and Sholay Ameobi scored for Newcastle. Ameobi’s strike came in the 86th minute to deny Tottenham all three points.

Winner

So who will win this match? Tottenham seems a likelier bet considering their strength in all departments.

Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Newcastle
