Newcastle United know three points against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend would send a real statement of intent as they look to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2003-04, when they knocked out of the competition in the third qualifying round by FK Partizan.
Spurs are just one of the sides standing between the Magpies and a return to battling out with Europe's elite clubs once again. Heading into the game, Eddie Howe's side are three points ahead of the visitors and boast a game in hand.
Defeat to Cristian Stellini's side would not see them drop out of the top-four, but would make for a nervy end to the season. As Newcastle know all too well, Spurs are able to boast one of the best strikers in the world in Harry Kane, who has an impressive record at St James' Park.
