Tottenham are yet to win a Premier League match in 2026, and if they fail to beat Newcastle, they will extend their poor form.
Tottenham are winless in their last eight Premier League games and last 11 games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. As their form continues fo dip, so does Thomas Frank’s job security.
Newcastle is next 🔜

Despite miraculously doing well in the UEFA Champions League, where they happened to finish in the top 8, they are underwhelming in the Premier League, and they aren’t the only ones.
Newcastle are currently in 12th place, and Eddie Howe has a lot of questions to answer. Last week, they suffered a firm 3-2 loss to Brentford, and they would need to win against Tottenham tomorrow if they want any hopes of finishing in a European spot.

Tottenham will also be without captain Cristian Romero as he will be serving a four-game ban for the red card in the 2-0 loss to Manchester United.
