Much disappointed yet motivated Tottenham will arrive at Wembley Stadium on Saturday to lock horns with much desperate Newcastle United who is craving for a win.
Spurs, previously, lost to Chelsea on penalties in their EFL Cup Semi-final, before then losing to their London rival in Crystal Palace, resulting in dropping out of the FA Cup. Spurs might have begun to feel that this has been their worst campaign so far, they made a comeback with a 2-1 win over Watford on Wednesday. Late goals from Son Heung-min and Fernando Llorente helped Spurs to take a two points lead of Man City. They won consecutive three matches in a row in the Premier League. A win in this match can definitely boost Spurs to dismantle the unbalanced Liverpool.
While Newcastle recently claimed their shocking yet glorious 2-1 win over Manchester City and against fellow strugglers Cardiff City with a 3-0 win. Having to say that this could be the first time since December 2015 when Newcastle United have overhauled some of the bigger teams. If Newcastle managed to relapse their performance against Man City in this fixture, victory would become a piece of cake.
Probable Line-ups:
Newcastle United: Dubravka; Yedlin, Schar, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie; Perez, Hayden, Longstaff, Atsu; Rondon.
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Trippier, Sissoko, Dier, Eriksen, Rose; Llorente, Son.

PlayerzPot Prediction:
Memory down the lane, Newcastle has a poor record in this ground and with the current form of Spurs, a stern performance can be expected. Newcastle would make sure to end the match with a draw but the last minute goal can be expected from the Spurs.
Predicted Score: Newcastle United 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur.
