"Two sides stuck together in the Premier League standings meet on Tuesday night as Newcastle host Tottenham at St James' Park. Both clubs sit mid-table only separated by goal difference, though their momentum could not be more different. Newcastle arrive buoyed by a commanding 4-1 win over Everton, while Spurs continue to drift after a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham. The win on Merseyside snapped a six-match away drought for Eddie Howe's side, with Malick Thiaw scoring inside one minute and later adding another."
"Lewis Miley and Nick Woltemade also struck before half-time, giving Newcastle the lift they needed after last week's Champions League frustration. What will please Howe most is the form at home. Newcastle have won six straight league matches at St James' Park, scoring at least two goals in every one. They also remain unbeaten in 10 consecutive midweek Premier League fixtures on their own ground. Spurs, as history repeatedly shows, rarely enjoy visiting Tyneside."
"Tottenham's struggles deepened at the weekend. Two early Fulham goals left Thomas Frank's side stunned, and despite a fierce volley from Mohammed Kudus later on, the response wasn't enough. Boos rang around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a third straight defeat and a tenth home league loss of the calendar year - a mark they last reached over two decades ago. Oddly, Spurs have been far more comfortable on their travels this season, picking up 13 of the last 18 available away points."
