Tottenham’s challenging season continued as they conceded a late goal to draw 2-2 at home against Wolves, leaving them in the bottom half of the Premier League standings.
The match epitomized their struggles, with left-back Destiny Udogie joining a growing list of injured first-team players. Manager Ange Postecoglou revealed he had to field an unfit Radu Drăgușin against Wolves, highlighting the strain on his squad, many of whom are “dipping into their reserves of energy.”
This season has been a tale of attrition for Postecoglou’s side. Early promise, marked by a glowing home record and a string of victories, has faded into inconsistency. Their start to the 2024/25 campaign was strong, with seven wins in their first eight competitive fixtures, keeping them firmly in the race for European qualification by the end of October. However, the energy and momentum have since waned. Home supporters have had little to cheer about recently, with just one win from their last seven matches in all competitions at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have firmly established themselves as top-four contenders. They sit eight points clear of Spurs and have their sights set on a return to the UEFA Champions League. Their confidence is buoyed by a commanding victory at Old Trafford, only their second Premier League-era win at the iconic venue. That result was part of a remarkable ten-day spell during which they secured three consecutive Premier League victories, each accompanied by a clean sheet.
Newcastle’s win against Manchester United also marked a significant milestone, as it was the first time since 2012 that they recorded four successive top-flight victories without conceding. Such form underscores their defensive solidity and attacking efficiency, hallmarks of Eddie Howe’s management. This impressive run will undoubtedly give them belief as they prepare to face a Tottenham side struggling with injuries and form.
The Magpies have also enjoyed a strong recent record against Spurs, winning four of their last five encounters under Howe. While their one loss in that stretch came during last season’s Premier League visit to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Newcastle have generally performed well in these head-to-head clashes, securing five wins in their last ten league meetings away from home. Their ability to thrive as traveling favorites this season further bolsters their confidence.
For Tottenham, forward Dominic Solanke could be a key player to watch. His performances against Newcastle last season for Bournemouth were outstanding, with four goal involvements—three goals and an assist—across their two meetings. With Spurs looking for inspiration, Solanke’s ability to influence games could prove crucial.
On the other side, Newcastle’s Alexander Isak continues to showcase his class. His goal against Manchester United made him the third-fastest player in the club’s history to reach 50 Premier League goal involvements, achieving the milestone in just 69 games. Isak has also been a consistent thorn in Tottenham’s side, scoring five goals in three of his four encounters with them. His knack for delivering in big games will make him a focal point in this matchup.
Adding to the intrigue is the high-scoring nature of recent meetings between these sides under Howe’s tenure. In six encounters as Newcastle’s manager, Howe’s teams have produced an average of 4.67 goals per game, promising another entertaining contest for fans.
This clash offers a stark contrast in fortunes. Tottenham are grappling with adversity, aiming to rediscover their early-season form despite a depleted squad. Newcastle, in contrast, are riding a wave of momentum, their sights set firmly on a top-four finish. With both teams having plenty at stake, this fixture promises drama, excitement, and potentially significant implications for their respective campaigns.
