Tottenham face Newcastle tonight in desperate need of a win in the Premier League.
Remarkably, Spurs are one point worse off than they were at this stage of last season under Ange Postecoglou, with the club in danger of being embroiled in a relegation battle.
Newcastle arrive in North London tonight in patchy form themselves, and this might be the perfect game for Tottenham to get a big three points on the board.
Fill in the blank: It is _______ that Thomas Frank is STILL the manager of Tottenham Hotspur
With West Ham and Leeds United picking up in recent weeks, the last thing Spurs need is for the club to drop any further down the Premier League table.
Ahead of tonight’s game, pundits have been picking their outcomes for the contest, and it appears it’s a tough one to call.
Paul Merson slams Tottenham star Cristian Romero
Romero is the name on everyone’s lips after his latest moment of madness in Saturday’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford.
The Argentine had yet another rush of blood to the head as he went way over the top in a challenge with Casemiro, leading to United seizing the initiative.

Merson doesn’t think a leopard will ever change his spots, believing Romero will continue letting Tottenham down when he’s back from his four-match ban.
Merson told Sportskeeda: “There is no justification for what Cristian Romero did against Manchester United on Saturday. It was ridiculous from him to get sent off. This isn’t the first time Romero has let Spurs down and as long as he keeps playing, it won’t be the last either.”
Merson makes prediction for Tottenham vs Newcastle
It’s hard to imagine there won’t be goals tonight in this eagerly anticipated clash in the Premier League.
Both teams have had some issues this season, and both Frank and Eddie Howe will view this game as a good chance to get some points on the board.
If you bring ONE Tottenham player back from injury, who are you choosing? 👀
Merson believes the game will end in a 2-2 draw with both teams sharing the spoils at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
It will be interesting to see what sort of team Frank picks and although Newcastle do boast quality, the head coach will surely be eyeing a big three points tonight.
