Tottenham take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 16 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, December 10th at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium (London).
Last season, Tottenham fell apart during the campaign, ultimately missing out on European competitions altogether. After such disappointment, Harry Kane forced himself to be sold to Bayern Munich. Given these circumstances, expectations were skeptical, and Postecoglou, as a manager, didn't make a strong impression – this was the Australian specialist's first experience in a top division. However, he was rightfully recognized as the best in the Premier League in August and later set a record among debutant managers in the division, securing 8 wins and 2 draws in the first 10 matches. But then everything turned 180 degrees. First, amidst a couple of red cards, there was a 1-4 loss to Chelsea. Then, they lost, even with different scenarios, 1-2 to both Wolverhampton and Aston Villa. Next, the Hotspurs went head-to-head with Manchester City, securing a 3-3 draw. However, following that were the trademark lackluster 1-2 defeats to West Ham.

Newcastle are holding up well this season despite increased pressure. The Magpies started a new chapter in their history after the hated Mike Ashley sold the project. Yes, initially, the new investors from Saudi Arabia had to save the project from relegation to the Championship. However, last season, under Mike Ashley's wards, they finished in the top four and secured a 4th-place finish. Now, because of this, they have finally made it to the Champions League. Things aren't going smoothly there, but it's too early to draw conclusions; much will depend on the next, final round and the result of the match against Milan. Despite this workload, the black and whites won the League Cup revenge against Manchester United for the defeat in the previous final – and before that, they had dealt with City. In December, they managed to surpass Manchester United in the Premier League standings with Gordon's goal... and then, surprisingly, suffered a 0-3 defeat to Everton, who was desperately fighting for survival.
Tottenham managed not to lose in five consecutive matches. However, in the previous season, Newcastle managed to win in both encounters. The hosts are favored, but they also disappoint too regularly. Therefore, we'll go with the option of a neutral total over 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 score goals.
