Liverpool must 'fight together' through difficult period. Video, 00:01:09Liverpool must 'fight together' through difficult period

Newcastle United have made two changes for the visit of Tottenham Hotspur to St James' Park.

Sandro Tonali comes in for captain Bruno Guimaraes and winger Jacob Murphy replaces Anthony Elanga in the starting line-up as head coach Eddie Howe freshens up his side a little following their weekend win at Everton.

Newcastle starting line-up: Ramsdale, Livramento, Thiaw, Burn, Hall, Tonali, Miley, Joelinton, Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes.

Subs: Ruddy, Schar, Gordon, Elanga, Willock, A.Murphy, Guimaraes, Ramsey, Neave.

Spurs captain Cristian Romero returns from suspension as the visitors make four changes.

Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Matar Sarr and Brennan Johnson also come into the side following the weekend defeat by Fulham.

Spurs starting line-up: Vicario, Danso, Udogie, Bergvall, Romero, Kudus, Johnson, Porro, Sarr, Bentancur, Kolo Muani.

Newcastle go in search of a third consecutive league win against a Tottenham side beaten in each of their past three games in all competitions. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Tuesday's match.

Magpies defender Malick Thiaw took just 52 seconds to open the scoring at Everton on Saturday and they capitalised on that fast start by winning 4-1, with Thiaw on target twice in the club's biggest league victory of the season.

The next step, according to head coach Eddie Howe, is finding "the consistency we're searching for". Wins against Manchester City and Everton have come either side of a European defeat in Marseille and Howe admits striking the "sweet spot" between the demands of the Premier League and Champions League has proved a challenge.

What has proved less of a challenge, at least in recent years, has been beating Tottenham Hotspur.

Newcastle have won six of the past seven encounters in all competitions, including a 2-0 victory at St James' Park when the sides met in the EFL Cup in October.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank needs a result. He was so relaxed when he was at Brentford but now he just looks like a guy under pressure.

Frank saying the supporters who booed Guglielmo Vicario after his mistake against Fulham "can't be true Tottenham fans" underlines the friction he is feeling at the moment, but he does have a point about the effect that has.

As a player who has been booed a lot over the years, I can tell you that it doesn't have a positive impact on your performance. Being serious, though, I just don't get it - it just creates negativity.

The Spurs players will probably be relieved to be playing away after that, but Newcastle have found a bit of form in the past week so this is not an easy trip at all.

Tottenham have already lost at St James' Park this season in the Carabao Cup, and I am going for a repeat result - by the same scoreline.

Sutton's prediction: 2-0

The Monday Night Club's Chris Sutton and Rory Smith talk with Tottenham Hotspur fan Jack Hussey to unpack why some Spurs supporters booed their own players.

Listen to the best bits of the Monday Night Club in the Football Daily podcast.

Manager Thomas Frank says Tottenham Hotspur's players and supporters "need each other" and that the club is "nothing without the fans".

Fans at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium booed goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario after his mistake led to Fulham's second goal in Saturday's 2-1 defeat - Spurs' 10th home league loss of 2025.

The Dane said after the defeat that those who booed Vicario "can't be true Tottenham fans" and called their actions "completely unacceptable".

Tottenham's only Premier League home win under Frank, who joined from Brentford in the summer, was the opening-weekend fixture against Burnley.

Their poor home form has led to Tottenham having just 18 points from 13 games to sit 12th in the league table.

Speaking before his side face Newcastle United, who sit directly below them, on Tuesday (20:15 GMT) at St James' Park, Frank said he understood the disappointment of fans.

"As I said after the game I completely understand the frustration," he said.

"If you don't win there will always be a frustration. That is normal.

"Especially as we haven't won as much as we would have wanted to at home, not only this year but the last long period. So the frustration grows a little bit more.

"We are nothing without the fans. No club is anything without the fans. Tottenham is nothing without our fantastic fans, nothing. We need each other.

"My point is that during matches is where we need each other - where I want to create a fortress.

"If you want to create a fortress, it can only be together - fans, team, me. My job is to make sure we do everything we can to perform - but can we do that together? That is where you create a difficult place to play."

A pretty slow start on the south coast here. A really flat atmosphere inside the ground, too.

Feels like we need an early goal to get this game going.

Fulham midfielder Sander Berge speaking to Sky Sports: "Up until the last two games we've been doing well. We have been in large parts of the games and played well. We've managed to sort out the fine margins. They are going our way now. We've been better in both boxes, clinical, and most of all we've been solid defensively.

"We know our quality in the group and as soon as we got a win that boosted us to get another one and hope to get a third tonight against a tough opponent.

"City are a great side, a fantastic team, and it is the only team Marco [Silva] and Fulham haven't beaten since he was in the Premier League, so we really want to do that tonight."

'We are nothing without the fans'

Newcastle v Tottenham (20:15 GMT)

Thomas Frank understands the frustrations of the Spurs fans after another poor display at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday night.

"As I said after the game, I completely understand the frustration," Frank said. "If you don't win, there will always be frustration. That is normal.

"Especially as we haven't won as much as we would have wanted to at home, not only this year but the last long period. So the frustration grows a little bit more.

"We are nothing without the fans. No club is anything without the fans. Tottenham is nothing without our fantastic fans, nothing. We need each other.

"My point is that during matches is where we need each other - where I want to create a fortress.

"If you want to create a fortress, it can only be together - fans, team, me. My job is to make sure we do everything we can to perform - but can we do that together? That is where you create a difficult place to play."

Frank began by confirming that "everyone ready for the Fulham match is ready for Newcastle", while Cristian Romero is also available again after serving his one-match suspension.

Reacting after the 2-1 home defeat by Fulham, he added: "I completely understand the frustration. If we don't win there will always be a frustration. We have not won much at home this season and also last, so the frustration can grow. It's my job to do what we can to have calm."

On his comments criticising fans for booing after Guglielmo Vicario's mistake: "We are nothing without the fans. Tottenham Hotspur is nothing without the fans. My point was that during matches we need each other. Afterwards the booing can be fair. During, we need to make it a fortress and to do that we need to be together."

More on fan discontent: "If we go into every game, I'm pretty sure every fan wants to win and support. If it's not going to plan, some get more frustrated than others. There's always some that shout louder than others."

Frank said he has talked to Vicario about the incident: "I spoke with him and asked how he was. He said he was OK. He is a good player to deal with when it is setbacks like that. How you deal with mistakes is a big part of how good you become as a player. Everyone can make mistakes but the way he carries himself impressed me very much. Vic is remarkable. His character is fantastic in every aspect."

Asked about his defence conceding 13 goals in four games, Frank said: "You can say the four goals we conceded against Manchester United and Fulham are some of the goals I'd like to avoid more. I think they had five and seven shots - the xG was very low. In the other two, we conceded too many shots."

On summer signing Xavi Simons not starting any of the three matches last week: "There is a reason why we have Xavi here. I think he is a very good player. He has trained very well. It is not the first time a player has stepped into the Premier League and needs a bit of adaptation."
