Follow all the action as Newcastle United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St James’ Park in the Premier League this afternoon.
In a fixture with huge ramifications at either end of the table, Newcastle are aiming to bolster their hopes of survival, despite the cloud of misery hanging over the club. Steve Bruce remains in charge, despite the fanbase’s animosity, with the Magpies currently two points clear of the relegation zone. A 3-0 defeat by fellow strugglers Brighton before the international break only heaped more uncertainty on the club, while Allan Saint-Maximin is only fit enough to start from the bench.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho was left under fire after Spurs’ north London derby defeat was followed by an embarrassing Europa League exit against Dinamo Zagreb courtesy of an inspired Mislav Orsic hat-trick. However, Tottenham did respond before the break, beating Aston Villa 2-0 to reignite their hopes of securing an unlikely top-four finish. That victory left Spurs just three points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea, who slipped up against West Brom yesterday. Follow all the action live below:
