Newcastle vs Tottenham
Tottenham will return to Premier League action this coming Sunday.
The Lilywhites are set for a trip up north, for a clash with Steve Bruce’s Newcastle United.
Spurs head into the meeting in fairly solid league form, having picked up four wins from their last five league games.
Said run has seen Jose Mourinho’s side climb up to 6th in the Premier League.
And with nine games of the season left to play, Tottenham are still in with a shot of securing Champions League football.
After beating Aston Villa last time out, Spurs moved to within just three points off 4th-place Chelsea.
But with things still so tight in the race for European football, Tottenham can’t really afford to drop any points against a pretty poor Newcastle side.
The Magpies are on a dismal run of form, which has seen them sucked firmly into a relegation battle.
At present, they are just two points above the drop, though they do have a game in hand on 18th-place Fulham.

Sergio Reguilon likely to miss Newcastle clash
Ahead of the tie, Spurs have been dealt some rather concerning news on the personnel front.
Sergio Reguilon would pick up a knock in Spurs’ aforementioned win over Villa, and was forced to miss out on Spain duty as a result.
And, according to a report from Sky Sports News on Tuesday, Reguilon is a doubt for Sunday’s game. The full-back is said to be back doing light training work, but is yet to return to full training.
This could leave Spurs extremely short at left-back vs Newcastle, with Ben Davies withdrawing from the Wales squad due to injury last week.
