Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has ensured his squad stay cool, calm and collected ahead of the huge clash with Tottenham Hotspur.
Howe refused to panic in the direct aftermath of the 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa and he was right in doing so as within a couple of hours, Spurs had also lost to AFC Bournemouth. The visit of Cristian Stellini's side should hardly fill Newcastle fans with fear given they have conceded eight goals in the last four matches and thrown away the lead in games on numerous occasions.
Victory on Sunday against the caretaker manager Stellini's side would increase the gap over Spurs to six points and also lift Newcastle into third place with Manchester United in FA Cup semi-final action against Brighton this weekend. Howe has spoken about his approach to the club's first defeat in six matches.
