The latest gallery of rare and unseen images in our official matchday programme from a deep dive into our Mirrorpix photography archive is dedicated to the great Danny Blanchflower, who would have celebrated his 100th birthday today.

One of the greatest players to ever wear our famous white shirt, he captained us to Double glory in 1960/61 and was a true leader on and off the pitch.

Here's a taster - the full gallery will be in this evening's programme against Newcastle United.

"Newcastle have struggled away from home this season – but their recent draw at Paris Saint-Germain showed they can tactically mix it up, while boasting various attacking options too..."

Rob Daly, official club commentator, presenter and pundit

How are Newcastle doing on the road?

The Magpies have won just two of their 12 Premier League away games this season – those successes coming at Everton (November) and Burnley (December). Their only additional victory on the road, in all competitions, was a 4-0 thrashing of Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League. "It has been a problem for us all season, there is no getting away from that fact,” admitted Eddie Howe after a recent 4-1 loss to Liverpool at Anfield, followed up days later by Carabao Cup elimination at Manchester City. "We have to keep looking for solutions. We’re in a tough run with a lot of away fixtures so we’re going to be really finely tuned and hope we can solve our away form." At Anfield, they led through Anthony Gordon’s strike but went on to suffer defeat, meaning they have dropped 16 points from winning positions.

Where are the goals coming from?

It was always going to be difficult to replace a striker like Alexander Isak, who scored 27 times in 42 games during the 2024/25 campaign. "Let’s put this right - Liverpool paid the money they did because he's an outstanding footballer, an unbelievable talent,” said Howe recently. “When you take that player away from your team, it's going to change the dynamics, that's for sure. Then you have to try to find a way of, not replacing him, but finding a player or players who can still make the team really effective.” Strikers Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa have nine and three goals respectively, although the latter has missed much of the season through injury. Harvey Barnes and Anthony Gordon are both into double figures but, bizarrely, the vast majority of those goals have come in Europe and cup competitions.

How will Eddie Howe play this one?

Newcastle generally line up 4-3-3, which turns into 4-5-1 out of possession. However, a switch to a 3-4-3 formation helped them claim a recent draw at PSG, with Malik Thiaw, Sven Botman and Dan Burn in a three-man defence while using Lewis Miley and Lewis Hall as wing-backs. “If you want to call it a Plan B - I’m happy. We have lots of ways, formation-wise, we can play, but the principles don’t change,” detailed The Magpies’ manager. Whether Howe lines up with a recognised striker or not can also determine their approach.

What will they do in attack?

Gordon (injured at Manchester City last week) has been used as a number nine when Newcastle want to be explosive on the counter, using the additional pace of players like Barnes, Anthony Elanga and Jacob Murphy out wide. Wissa can also do that through the middle, but Woltemade plays with his back to goal - linking up with team-mates and looking to get on the end of crosses. How Newcastle press will be interesting too. Against City in the Carabao Cup semi-final last week, they went aggressive with their man-to-man marking all over the pitch, attempting to force errors from the hosts, who had a 2-0 first leg lead. However, Pep Guardiola’s side were smart, like when Tijjani Reijnders spun away from centre-back Sven Botman, who had followed him deep into enemy territory, to charge up the other end and score. Crucial players have been absent recently too, like Bruno Guimaeres, Joelinton, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar – which hasn’t made life easy for Eddie Howe in navigating four competitions.

Last time we met...

The Club is proud to show its support for the Premier League With Pride campaign during today’s match against Newcastle United.

The With Pride campaign reiterates a commitment to ensuring everyone feels welcome across all areas of football by celebrating LGBTQI+ stories across the game, promoting allyship and highlighting the educational resources that are available.

The campaign will be celebrated during today’s match with rainbow-coloured corner flags and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium illuminating in rainbow colours. Furthermore, the campaign’s branding will also be visible across our social channels and in the matchday programme.

We were one of the first to establish a LGBTQI+ Supporters’ Association, the Proud Lilywhites. Formed in 2014 with just 8 members, Proud Lilywhites has grown into a global community of over 1,000 Spurs fans, leading over a decade of campaigning, events, training, and visibility work to promote LGBTQI+ inclusion across the game.

To mark this year’s campaign, the Club has today released a powerful film, in partnership with the Proud Lilywhites, highlighting the differing matchday rituals of members of the group, underlining how despite our differences our supporters are united through their love of the club.

Chris Paouros, Co-Chair of Proud Lilywhites, said: “With Pride matters because it sends a clear message that LGBTQI+ fans belong at Spurs, not just on campaign days but every day. Proud Lilywhites started as a small group of supporters who wanted to feel safe and visible at matches, and what it has grown into shows the power of community when a club listens and stands alongside its fans. Football is at its best when people can show up as themselves and feel part of something bigger.”

The Club works to promote equality and diversity in everything we do, from creating an inclusive atmosphere and experience in the Stadium to delivering a number of community projects.

Tottenham Hotspur Foundation runs weekly football sessions for LGBTQI+ supporters on Monday evenings at Tottenham Powerleague through its Just Proud group, providing an invaluable opportunity for members to exercise and build friendships.

The Club has also reaffirmed our commitment to Football vs Homophobia, a global campaign that aims to end discrimination and prejudice towards the LGBTQI+ community in football, by increasing visibility and creating more opportunities in the game.

We have received five nominations at this year’s London Football Awards.

An awards evening which celebrates the very best of football in the capital, we have been shortlisted five times across four different categories for our Women’s First Team.

Midfielder Olivia Holdt has been nominated for Women’s Super League Player of the Year after a stunning season so far in Lilywhite. Netting six goals in all competitions this term to date, the Denmark international is currently our leading goalscorer, while she has also produced three assists, taking her goal involvements to nine in 19 appearances.

Elsewhere, Cathinka Tandberg and Tōko Koga – the latter becoming our youngest ever goalscorer in the WSL era - have both been shortlisted for the Women’s Young Player of the Award.

Our number one, Lize Kop, is also up for an award, one of five shot stoppers listed for the Goalkeeper of the Year and, in fact, the Netherlands international is the only Women’s player to be named in the nominations, preserving nine clean sheets in all competitions this campaign.

To round off the nominations, Head Coach Martin Ho has been shortlisted for the Manager of the Year and, once again, is the only manager from WSL to be listed in that category.

The winners of the awards will be announced on Thursday 5 March in an awards evening at the Exhibition White City, London.

We have had success at these awards in the past as, in 2022, Jess Naz claimed the Women’s Young Player of the Year.

As part of our Lunar New Year celebrations, we have unveiled a special edition pre-match top designed by a Chinese artist to mark the Year of the Horse.

The shirt, unveiled in collaboration with NIKE, will be worn by our Men’s First-Team in the warm-up for this evening’s fixture against Newcastle and by our Women’s First-Team in the warm-up against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Lunar New Year is celebrated across east and southeast Asia on Tuesday 17 February. The horse, this year’s zodiac symbol, represents freedom, energy and determination, with the shirt design embodying those values alongside nods to the Club’s identity.

In the style of traditional line drawing, the intricate mane patterns across the shirt echo the motion of a horse in full sprint and symbolise its raw energy and momentum.

A large silhouette of our iconic club crest features on the back, with sponsor logos brought to the fore on the front of the shirt in a striking gold hue.

There are four subtle ‘Easter Eggs’ hidden within the design honouring the history of the Club, including outlines of the THFC Monogram and the text ‘N17’ – representing the Club’s North London postcode. A QR code is also featured on the shirt that links to exclusive video content.

The design of the shirt was created by Shanghai based artist Luna, who specialises in portraying themes of nature and wildlife mythology. Her creative process is detailed in an accompanying film produced by Shanghai based creative agency, Royal Club, which the Club has released today on our channels.

Luna said: “I’m truly honoured to share my hopes and blessings for the Year of the Horse through this initiative, passing that energy to the players and fans. For me, it also feels like a powerful, motivating start to the year.”

Duncan Pass, Merchandise & Licensing Director, Tottenham Hotspur said: “We are incredibly proud of the diversity of our fanbase, and celebrating cultural moments that matter deeply to our supporters across the world throughout the year is something that is extremely important to us. Lunar New Year is a time of reflection, renewal, and hope for many of our fans across Asia – as well as right here in the UK – and we are honoured to share in that celebration with the release of a special edition shirt, worn by both our Men’s and Women’s teams ahead of huge matches this week – bringing this cultural moment onto the biggest stage possible.”

We will be working with INFINOX on engaging our supporters through educational initiatives to promote informed participation and performance development around online trading.

The partnership will also see INFINOX promoted through in stadium branding at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and via content promoted across our club channels.

Elena Moiseeva, Chief Marketing Officer at INFINOX, commented: “Tottenham Hotspur has built a genuinely international audience, particularly in markets where digital financial participation is growing quickly.

Newcastle United duo Anthony Gordon and Lewis Miley face late fitness tests ahead of tomorrow's clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The pair have both been on the sidelines recently for the Magpies through injury - Miley since their UEFA Champions League to Paris Saint-Germain last month while Gordon was forced off in their Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Manchester City last week - but Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has not ruled out the duo featuring against us on Tuesday night with late checks being made on both players.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference on Monday afternoon, Howe said, "(Lewis) Miley... I need to see today - we'll get another update on his progress (later). He got a nasty bang to his leg so it's like a sort of dead leg that's dragged on a little bit longer than we thought, so we'll see how he is.

"(Anthony) Gordon... we'll make a check on (him) today and see how he's progressing. Hopefully (there's) a big improvement in him."

However, Newcastle will certainly be without Joelinton, Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar, who all remain out through injury.
