Former Newcastle United captain Geremi believes a win over Tottenham this weekend will be the confident boost needed to for the Magpies secure Champions League football come the end of the season. A win over Spurs would move Eddie Howe's side six points clear of Cristian Stellini's side in fifth place, also boasting a game in hand over the top-four rivals.
The Toon have been imperious at home this season, losing to just Liverpool and taking points against Manchester City and Manchester United. A heavy defeat last time out against Aston Villa saw the Magpies come crashing back down to earth, but Spurs were unable to take advantage of Newcastle's slip up - with Tottenham losing 3-2 to Bournemouth.
Speaking to Lord Ping, Geremi said: "I think if Newcastle beat Tottenham, they will have the confidence to finish in the top four. At this stage of the season, with eight games remaining, they will be thinking about the Champions League.
