Tottenham vs. Newcastle score, stats, talking points, highlights for Premier League match
JUMP TO:
Two Premier League teams absolutely desperate for points at all costs will clash in London as Tottenham host Newcastle on Tuesday.
Both clubs are suffering through poor runs of form and are in need of any positive results, giving this match a nervy and tense feel.
The hosts are in the most dire situation, languishing 15th in the league standings, just six points above the drop as Thomas Frank is on thin ice at Spurs.
For Eddie Howe and the visiting Magpies, they aren’t under threat of relegation, but their position in 12th leaves their chances of qualifying for Europe next season on life support. Their total of 33 points through 25 matches puts them 10 points back of fifth-place Chelsea, meaning a shot at a Champions League place next year is almost certainly out of the question.

Tottenham vs. Newcastle key moments
2 hours to kickoff: For the second straight season, Tottenham are experiencing polar opposite fortunes in Premier League and European competitions. While they sit 15th in the Premier League table 25 matches into Thomas Frank’s debut season, they managed to secure a fourth-place finish in the league phase of Champions League action.
That’s key for Frank who now gets room to breathe as they recover their Premier League position, not scheduled to compete in the Round of 16 in Europe until the middle of March. Thanks to their early FA Cup exit, Spurs won’t play again after this match until February 22.
With a debilitatingly long injury list to push through, that extra time will be vital to get the squad back closer to full fitness.
