There are several games to look forward to in the English Premier League on Wednesday night including the meeting between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park.
The hosts come into the game in 13th place on 43 points while the visitors are in 8th place on 52 points.
Newcastle United will be aiming to get back to winning ways having suffered a 2-1 defeat at Watford on the weekend. Despite going in at half time leading the game 1-0, Newcastle United conceded two penalties in the second half to eventually lose the match. It was their second successive defeat following the heavy 5-0 loss at Manchester City and Newcastle United have failed to win any of their last 3 games having also been held to a 2-2 draw at home by West Ham United.
Trends show Newcastle United have been struggling to pick up victories recently and have won only one of the last 6 games in all competitions. That includes one victory in their last 5 Premier League matches which came away against relegation threatened Bournemouth.
However, Newcastle United have been difficult to beat at home and they are undefeated in their last 6 Premier League games. Both teams have scored in each of their last 2 home matches but Newcastle United have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 6 on home soil.
Tottenham Hotspur will be entering this game full of confidence having defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home in the north London Derby on Sunday afternoon. Having fallen a goal behind, Spurs did not give up and got themselves back in the game thanks to a goal by Son Heung-Min. With time running out central defender Toby Alderweireld headed home a corner to seal maximum points.
That result means Spurs are undefeated in their last 3 Premier League games. In addition to the victory over Arsenal they have defeated Everton 1-0 at home and picked up a point in a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth.
Away form in the Premier League shows Spurs are finding it difficult to win matches. There has been just a single victory in their last 8 away Premier League games are that came at Aston Villa back in February. Since then, Spurs have picked up just 2 points from 4 matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Newcastle United have five players unavailable due to injury with Andy Carroll, Ciaran Clark, Florian Lejeune, Isaac Hayden and Jetro Willems all missing out for the hosts.
Tottenham Hotspur travel without Eric Dier who is serving a suspension and the injured defender Juan Foyth. Dele Alli is still struggling with a thigh injury and is unlikely to be involved.
Spurs have enjoyed recent victories over Newcastle United, winning each of their last 4 meetings in the Premier League. They are currently in a good place following the win over Arsenal so expect to see Spurs come out on top in this match with the possibility of both teams scoring.
