Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur – Predicted lineup and team news

Newcastle United host Tottenham on Tuesday, looking to continue their recent dominance over the North Londoners.

The Magpies have dominated Spurs recently. Specifically, they have won five of their last six Premier League games against them. Furthermore, they won their last three home meetings against Tottenham by an aggregate score of 12-2.

Eddie Howe’s side are also formidable in midweek fixtures at St. James’ Park. In fact, they haven’t lost any of their last 10 home midweek evening matches in the Premier League. Following a comprehensive 4-1 win at Everton, confidence is high. A victory here would see Newcastle win consecutive league games for the first time since March.

Newcastle United team news

Eddie Howe has provided a mixed injury update ahead of tonight’s clash. Goalkeeper Nick Pope remains a major doubt as the club awaits a proper diagnosis. Therefore, Aaron Ramsdale is expected to continue between the sticks. Defender Sven Botman is also unavailable. He is scheduled to see a specialist to determine the next steps for his injury.

There is brighter news regarding Yoane Wissa. The summer signing took a significant step in his recovery by participating in a training game. However, he is unlikely to be rushed back for this fixture. Howe is expected to keep faith with the players who beat Everton. This means Malick Thiaw should retain his place after scoring a brace of headers. Meanwhile, teenager Lewis Miley is pushing for a start after recording a goal and an assist off the bench.
