Premier League state of play
The Premier League table doesn't make pretty viewing for either of today's teams...
A career defining night in store...
Welcome from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium where we may be about to witness a make or break night for both the men in charge tonight as Spurs welcome Newcastle.
Thomas Frank goes into this one knowing that it could very well be win or bust for his tenure in north London, with pressure mounting after the defeat to Manchester United left Spurs 15th in the Premier League title, six points from safety.
It hasn't been smooth sailing for Eddie Howe either, who admitted that his side had not been good enough after they came out on the losing end of their game against Brentford on Saturday.
With the Magpies in 12th, a win is vital for any European hopes they still harbour.
Expect fireworks, with team news with you in the quarter of an hour ahead of our 7.30pm kick off.

Frank confirms fresh Udogie injury
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank has confirmed Destiny Udogie is set for another spell on the sidelines with a hamstring injury.
The 23-year-old - who missed December with a hamstring injury - had featured in Spurs' last three games, but came off after 55 minutes in the 2-0 defeat to Man Utd at the weekend.
"Unfortunately, Destiny has a hamstring injury, so he's out for the next four to five weeks," Frank said in his press conference.
He also provided updates on Kevin Danso and Dejan Kulusevski.
"Kevin met the consultant. Going forward, it's still weeks before he's available," he said.
"Deki has got another appointment at the end of this week where we will know more.
"But he's out of the Champions League squad, which is a sign that it's not tomorrow.
Asked if the latter would be returning before the end of the season, Frank added: "I don't know."

Frank dodges question about whether Spurs are in relegation battle
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank:
"There's no doubt we are desperate to win games, desperate.
"And I'm focusing on Newcastle tomorrow. That's a great opportunity ahead of us against a good team.
"That's the main thing. Can we go out there and get three points tomorrow? That will be very good and then climb from there. Look forward, that's what we need to do.
"That's the main focus."
On whether his side have the quality to get out of situation...
"I think we have. There are a lot of players out and that, of course, never helps.
"But I think I actually put a very competitive team out against Man Utd and we looked good for the first 30 minutes.
"We lost two players for tomorrow [Romero and Udogie], but Djed Spence is back and (Radu) Dragusin looked good when he came back in.
"I know we'll put a very competitive team out tomorrow as well and then there should be hopefully a few more coming back after that, but let's see."
Howe gives injury update
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe:
"Lewis Miley I need to see today, it's a dead leg that has dragged on longer than we thought. [Anthony] Gordon we'll make an assessment today, hopefully an improvement in him. Joelinton won't make this game."
Howe defends job amid claims his players 'lacked effort' in defeat to Brentford
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe was forced to defend his job amid a run that his seen his side slip to 12th in the Premier League.
Howe's side have lost their last three in the league, after a 3-2 defeat to Brentford at St James' Park on Saturday, and won just one in eight in all competitions.
"I will do better. It's part of the evolution," Howe said on Monday ahead of Tuesday's game against Tottenham. "These challenging moments are when you grow the most. I'm looking forward to that.
"The club is always No 1. I have got to think I'm the right person to get results and give value. As long as I feel that in my heart and spirit, my desire and passion for the job will always be there.
"That's why I'm sitting here now. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't be.
"I'll fight every day to the maximum for success for this club.
"When you don't win, it's an easy criticism to make, to accuse the players of [a lack of effort].
"I see the players every day. The squad is strong in terms of psychology. If there are suggestions that people feel we didn't leave everything on the pitch, we have to take that on the chin and address that in the next game."
What are Newcastle's biggest issues currently?
Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe:
"We have to fix defensive issues and then I back the team to get results. I still feel we're a goal threat in every game.
"The priority is the next game. I make no apologies for that. Right now it's Tottenham, that's everything for us.
"Everyone is looking to me to set the tone. People want to follow, that's human nature. If you have strength in these moments, people look to you."
Howe: I'm not doing my job well enough at the moment
