[EPL] Tottenham’s recent matches have been consistently high-scoring, while Newcastle’s attack is in scintillating form.
Tottenham is enduring an extremely difficult period. For the first time since his arrival, Ange Postecoglou faces a genuine threat of dismissal. Sitting in 11th place after 19 matches with just 24 points, it is unlikely that anyone in Spurs' management is satisfied. The gap to the top four has already stretched to 11 points.
In their last match, Tottenham dominated possession against Wolverhampton but only managed a 2-2 draw. Before that, Postecoglou’s side suffered losses to Nottingham Forest (0-1) and Liverpool (3-6). Over their last seven Premier League games, Spurs have managed just one victory.
Nevertheless, Tottenham has reached the semifinals of the English League Cup and is ninth in their Europa League group standings with 11 points.
Newcastle had a shaky start to the season but has found excellent form over the past month. The Magpies have climbed to fifth place with 32 points, trailing fourth-placed Chelsea by just three points.
Newcastle enters this match on a four-game winning streak. In their last Premier League outing, Eddie Howe’s side secured a commanding 3-0 away win, following dominant victories over Aston Villa (3-0), Ipswich (4-0), and Leicester (4-0).
Like Tottenham, Newcastle has also advanced to the semifinals of the English League Cup, where they will face Arsenal for a place in the final.
