Spurs are typically up and down while the Toon Army’s resurgence has stalled a little with some poor results of late. Who’s taking the win here? Let’s find out via the medium of Thommo’s Spurs v Newcastle tips.

Sunday 4.30pm: Tottenham v Newcastle

TV: Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League

You have to go with Spurs. Maybe two weeks ago it might not have been so clear cut because Newcastle have lost the last two, 1-0. Prior to that I think they were on an unbeaten run of nine games which is great.

But that would have dented the confidence a little bit but they are nine points clear of the drop zone which is a miraculous recovery from where they were. At this stage you can see them being safe but they can’t rest on their laurels.

I thought this was amazing, they’ve not conceded more than one goal in any of their last 11 in the Premier League so they’ve tightened up at the back and they’re not getting done over by any means. Spurs scored 16 in their last five Premier League games so they’ve got their shooting boots on.

They’ve won the last two at home scoring eight goals. I think all of this is pointing towards Spurs. And Spurs, look at this, have lost just one of their last nine Premier League meetings against Newcastle.

It’s all pointing in Spurs’ favour, I think Tottenham will Win to Nil. You’ve just got to get the score line right, my score line for this is 2-0 to Spurs. Somebody who’s in absolutely teriffic form, full of confidence, it’s got to be Harry Kane to Score Anytime.
