Having already been relegated, Newcastle host Spurs this weekend in a match that they have nothing to lose. Unlike Spurs who are fighting to retain their second position on the log and finish above their bitter rivals Arsenal, the Magpies have nothing to fight for apart from pride.
The hosts come into this match with an impressive home record and would want to give their fans some beautiful display of football. Rafael Benitez’s men have not lost any of their last five league games at home, and they could extend the unbeaten run to six if they cruise past Pochettino’s men this weekend.
On the other hand, Spurs need only a point to solidify their presence at the second spot and a draw will be enough. Sadly for the North Londoners, they have not won any of their last three league games, a performance that consequently knocked them out of the title race, hence paving way for Leicester to clinch their historic win.But Pochettino’s men have been quite impressive at the St. James Park; they have lost only one of their last visits to the ground, and will be hoping to extend the good results today.
