Tottenham faces Newcastle in a crucial Premier League match with both teams needing a win for different reasons this Saturday
London: Tottenham is feeling the heat as they gear up to face Newcastle this Saturday. They’ve only managed to snag one win in their last six league matches, and their last game ended in a frustrating 2-2 draw against Wolves.
Ange Postecoglou’s style of play is getting mixed reviews, and the injury list is piling up. With key players sidelined, the arrival of Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, who are on a roll, is not what Spurs need right now.
Newcastle has turned things around after a shaky start, winning their last five games. They just beat Manchester United 2-0 and are eyeing a spot in the Champions League.
So, what’s the scoop? The match kicks off at 12:30 PM GMT on Saturday, January 4, 2024, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In terms of team news, Spurs are dealing with a lot of injuries. Destiny Udogie is the latest casualty with a hamstring issue, joining a long list of injured players. Rodrigo Bentancur is also out due to suspension.
On the other hand, Newcastle will miss Fabian Schar due to suspension, and Kieran Trippier is a doubt after coming off in their last match. But Sven Botman is close to returning, which is good news for them.
With Newcastle in such good form, many expect them to take the win, possibly with a score of 2-0. It’s going to be an interesting match, that’s for sure!
