Newcastle take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 14 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 2nd at St. James' Park (Newcastle).
Newcastle have already played under Howe in Europe’s main club competition, although back then they were unlucky and failed to progress from a tough group. This time, after returning to the tournament, the English side started with a home defeat to Barcelona but then produced a run of convincing victories. In the previous round, however, they lost 1–2 to Marseille. Meanwhile, their domestic form has been far less convincing. Yes, in the League Cup they are confidently advancing toward defending the title they won last season — they have already knocked out Spurs along the way. But in the Premier League they had a difficult start, partly due to internal issues, and even in autumn, despite goals from newcomers like Woltemade, inconsistency has been a problem. Still, Newcastle have recently shown signs of stabilising their form in Europe, often displaying far more composure than in league games. Their strong performances against top continental sides also suggest that they are finding a clearer identity in high-pressure matches. Even so, they managed to beat Manchester City in the league and destroyed Everton 4–1 away in their most recent outings.

Tottenham are still rebuilding under their new manager. Spurs rewrote their history six months ago by finally claiming a trophy — and quite a significant one, winning the Europa League. But even before the final, Postecoglou already knew he would be dismissed regardless of the result due to a disastrous Premier League campaign that saw the club finish 17th with just 38 points. Thomas Frank had no difficulty improving that situation, yet questions around Hotspur remain. Their League Cup elimination has already been mentioned, and the Dane’s debut saw Spurs surrender a 2–0 lead to PSG and eventually lose on penalties in the UEFA Super Cup. In the Champions League, the team produced only draws against Bodø/Glimt and Monaco. Last week they managed to score three times against PSG yet still lost 3–5. In the Premier League, too many slip-ups continue to disrupt their progress: they lost the North London derby to Arsenal 1–4 and then fell 1–2 at home to Fulham. Spurs’ overall trend shows that while they can compete in isolated matches, they struggle to maintain rhythm over several consecutive fixtures. Their away form in particular remains fragile, with repeated setbacks preventing them from building any sustained momentum.
All of the most recent official meetings were won by the black-and-whites. The black-and-whites are in better form and are playing at home — the pick is Newcastle to defeat the visitors from the capital.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win.
