Newcastle has somewhat stabilized their results, having not suffered a single defeat in the last three matches two victories and a draw. They managed to win against “West Ham” (4-3) and “Fulham” (0-1). Between these matches, there was a draw 1-1 with “Everton”. In the league table, Eddie Howe’s team sits in eighth place and has a chance to compete for the top six, as they are only two points behind sixth-placed “Manchester United”. Traditionally, “Newcastle” is strong at home, where they have won 10 out of 16 matches since the start of the Premier League season. The team still has many injured players. Today, goalkeeper Nick Pope, defenders Kieran Trippier, Valentino Livramento, Jamaal Lascelles, Matt Targett, and Sven Botman, midfielder Lewis Miley, as well as forwards Callum Wilson, Miguel Almiron, and Joelinton will not play.
Tottenham, after the last round, caught up with “Aston Villa” in terms of points in the league table and occupies the fourth place. Both teams have 60 points, but “Spurs” have a game in hand. Apparently, until the very last round between these opponents, there will be a serious fight for the top four. Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, the team has only had two setbacks in the last five matches, when they lost an away match to “Fulham” (0-3) and drew with “West Ham” (1-1). In the previous round, “Tottenham” dealt with “Nottingham Forest” (3-1) at home. Among the absences in the squad, we note the absence today due to injuries of forward Manor Solomon, defender Ryan Sessegnon, and goalkeeper Fraser Forster.
