Gary Neville has stood by his 'unpopular' prediction that Newcastle United will not secure a top-four finish after watching a 'turning point' in Tottenham's season. Eddie Howe's side were held to a 1-1 draw at home by West Ham on Saturday, a result which means the Magpies have drawn three of their last five top-flight fixtures.
Newcastle's cushion in the Champions League qualification spots has now been cut to one point following Tottenham's impressive victory over Manchester City the following day. Harry Kane netted the only goal of the game to defeat the defending champions and become the club's all-time leading goalscorer.
Neville recently outlined his mid-season predictions, and selected Antonio Conte's side ahead of Newcastle in fourth place come the end of the campaign. The Sky Sports pundit believes the emphatic derby victory at high-flying Fulham last month could prove to be a 'turning point' for Tottenham, and insists there is a 'foundation' in place for the club to pip Newcastle to the final spot.
