Michael Bridges is expecting a tough afternoon for Newcastle United on Sunday as they travel to face Tottenham. The trip to North London will be a real test of how far Eddie Howe has brought the side as they look to build momentum heading into next season.
Teams like Spurs are the calibre of opponent that the Magpies want to eventually be competing with and Sunday’s clash is the perfect opportunity for the visitors to make a statement of their intent. Although, it certainly won’t be easy as Antonio Conte’s side come into the game in great form having won four of their last five in the Premier League.
Bridges expects that form to continue as he believes the quality of their two main attacking outlets will prove the difference. “This is going to be an interesting game. Eddie Howe and his team absolutely flying and [Antonio] Conte having that win, lose, win, lose [record] so you just never know what you’re going to get,” he told the GegenPod.
