Tottenham travel to Newcastle in the Premier League this lunchtime as both teams look to keep their quests for European qualification on track.
Spurs are now in the driving seat in the race for the top four, as much as Ange Postecoglou claims he does not care for constant analysis of it.

Sunday night’s win over Nottingham Forest keeps them ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference but, crucially, Spurs also boast a game in hand.
Fifth place may still be enough to qualify for the Champions League but Postecoglou will be keen to ensure his team are not relying on a co-efficient they can do little about.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have been in good form since returning from the international break. While Eddie Howe’s side are not totally convincing, their win over Fulham on Saturday made it two victories from three as they look to make the Europa League.

Newcastle vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 12.30pm BST kick-off time today, Saturday, April 13, 2024.
