Tottenham take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 20 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, January 4th at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium (London).
Tottenham are in their second year under Postecoglou. Of course, the first year didn't produce any results, they still didn't take 4th place - Aston Villa scored a couple of points more. But there was still noticeable progress, and this was after the best striker, Kane, left for Bayern. In the summer, Solanke, the new "nine", arrived, and for a lot of money. But his success, by the way, is not sky-high, in his new place, could not overcome the negative factors, including the wave of injuries. They still manage to produce good results from time to time, and it's no wonder that Hotspurs will soon play in the League Cup semi-finals - on the way there they knocked out, among others, Manchester City and Manchester United. But in the English championship they lose more often than they win. At the moment, very little is working out — they lost to Nottingham Forest without any special options, and ended up with a fighting 2-2 draw with Wolverhampton, who were fighting for survival.

Newcastle are now similar to their opponents. The Magpies under Howe were able to quickly replace the fight for survival with a return to the Champions League, where they had not played for a couple of decades. This return to the main European Cup was extremely unsuccessful, albeit with reservations (4th place, albeit in a difficult group), and there was a rollback in the Premier League — they finished there in 7th position in the spring. And the forecasts for the new season were restrained, because investors from Saudi Arabia did not really strengthen the squad in the summer due to tougher penalties for deviations from financial fair play. So the results can be considered at least satisfactory. The Black and Whites also reached the semi-finals of the League Cup. And in the Premier League, they are trying to be contenders for a place in the European Cup zone. And now they are able to produce a series of victories, which allowed them to climb even to 5th place. Including victories over Aston Villa and Manchester United.
The Magpies have won four times in their last five official head-to-head matches, with only one defeat. The "black and whites" are currently in excellent shape - they are quite capable of beating their opponents in London.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win.
