Eddie Howe has admitted that Newcastle United took 'confidence' from their win against Spurs earlier this season - even if Sunday's rematch will be a 'totally different game'
Newcastle moved into the top four following an impressive 2-1 victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in October. It was Newcastle's first win against a traditional big hitter this season and the Magpies have since gone on to defeat Chelsea and Manchester United in the top-flight ahead of the visit of Spurs to St James' Park on Sunday.
Much has changed since the reverse fixture six months earlier. Spurs were above Newcastle in the table at the time, but the fourth-placed Magpies now know they can land a huge psychological blow in the race for the Champions League by moving six points clear of their rivals with a win while still having a game in hand.
