Tottenham Hotspur will aim to break their three-game winless run in the Premier League as they host an in-form Newcastle United on Saturday.

Spurs closed out 2024 with a frustrating 2-2 draw against relegation-threatened Wolves, leaving them 11th in the table well away from the top 4 spots.

Meanwhile, Newcastle extended their impressive league form with a solid 2-0 victory over Manchester United, marking their fourth consecutive win and climbing to fifth in the standings.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Tottenham vs. Newcastle lineups, team news

Spurs’ injury concerns were compounded by the loss of Destiny Udogie to a hamstring injury and a setback to Ben Davies‘ recovery during Christmas week. With Rodrigo Bentancur missing his game due to suspension, Postecoglou’s defensive options are looking severely limited.

They will at least have Djed Spence back from a ban, while it is hoped that both Davies and striker Richarlison will be available at some point in January, even if this game comes too soon.

Tottenham predicted lineup (4-2-3-1, right to left): Forster (GK) — Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence — Bissouma, Sarr — Johnson, Kulusevski, Son — Solanke

Injured: Davies, Odobert, Richarlison, Romero, Udogie, Van de Ven (all hamstring), Vicario (ankle)
Suspended: Bentancur (yellow-card accumulation)

Fabian Schar is banned for the visit to north London after receiving a fifth yellow card of the season in the win at Man United. Kieran Trippier is also a doubt after suffering some discomfort during the match, but otherwise, Eddie Howe does not have any further concerns after that game.

Sven Botman, Emil Krafth and goalkeeper Nick Pope could all make their comebacks in January, but Jamaal Lascelles and Callum Wilson will likely be out a little longer.

Newcastle predicted lineup (4-3-3, right to left): Dubravka (GK) — Livramento, Kelly, Burn, Hall — Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton — Murphy, Isak, Gordon

Injured: Botman (knee), Krafth (shoulder), Pope (knee), Lascelles (knee), Trippier (muscle, doubt), Wilson (hamstring)
Suspended: Schar (yellow-card accumulation)

Tottenham vs. Newcastle Prediction 

Tottenham have won two of their last three league clashes against Newcastle at home, however, they have lost four of their previous five Premier League clashes against the Magpies.

With both teams’ respective forms ahead of this game, Newcastle are most likely to emerge victors, and with Tottenham’s vulnerable defense they should win comfortably.
