7M - Match Preview: Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United - Predictions, Team News, Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are set to clash in a crucial Premier League matchup on Tuesday night, with both teams at risk of enduring their 11th loss of the season.

Following a four-match unbeaten streak, Tottenham suffered a 2-0 defeat against Manchester United on Saturday, while Newcastle faced a harsh 3-2 loss to Brentford at home.

Match Analysis

The 2025-26 season has been marred by disaster and depleted squads for Tottenham under Thomas Frank. Their latest misfortune at Old Trafford included Cristian Romero receiving a record-equalling red card and a series of defensive errors, leading to their 10th defeat of the campaign. Injuries to key players like Destiny Udogie further complicate their situation.

While the Champions League provides some respite for Spurs fans, their immediate focus is on avoiding a slip into the relegation battle, now just six points clear of 18th-placed West Ham United. Tottenham has not won in their last seven Premier League matches, and they've conceded at least two goals in five straight league games, making it likely that this trend could continue.

On the other side, Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe faces mounting pressure after overseeing a disappointing run that includes three consecutive losses and a lack of form since their victory over PSV Eindhoven. The Magpies find themselves in the lower half of the table, closer to the top six than the relegation zone, yet they remain underperforming.

Newcastle's away struggles have persisted this season, managing more than one goal in only two of their road matches against Everton and Burnley. Historically, however, they have been a challenge for Tottenham, winning five of their last seven encounters, though they settled for a 2-2 draw in their last meeting thanks to Romero's two goals before his suspension.

Projected Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur Possible Starting XI:
Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, Van de Ven, Souza; Sarr, Palhinha, Gallagher; Simons, Solanke, Kolo Muani

Newcastle United Possible Starting XI:
Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Tonali, Guimaraes, Ramsey; Elanga, Woltemade, Barnes

Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-2 Newcastle United

We anticipate a 2-2 draw between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United. Despite their challenges, Tottenham showed resilience against a revitalized Manchester United, while Newcastle's defensive woes and the absence of key players like Gordon hint at a high-scoring yet evenly matched affair. Both teams may find parity in what promises to be an end-to-end contest.
