Chris Sutton, Mark Lawrenson and Chris Sutton are all backing Newcastle United to win the battle of the Champions League hopefuls when they take on Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. It's a game that could well be deemed a 'six pointer' given the importance of the tie.
Coincidentally, a win would move Eddie Howe's side six points clear of Spurs with a game in hand over their opponents. However, defeat to Aston Villa in their last outing has seen some pundits raise questions over Newcastle's top-four credentials.
A good result on Sunday would be a poignant reminder of the Magpies ambitions this season but also put any nerves to bed. Newcastle have lost just once on home soil this season against Liverpool and have been imperious at St. James' Park.
