Tottenham 'crumble' verdict as Newcastle United backed for European places

TalkSPORT pundit and former Premier League striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes that Newcastle United will miss out on a top four spot in the Premier League by the end of this season.

The Magpies have seen a slight dip in form after failing to win any of their last five league matches, meaning they've dropped down to sixth behind Tottenham and Liverpool.

Those three teams are the only other contenders the former Aston Villa striker sees for the final Champions League spot but has given Jurgen Klopp's side the edge over Eddie Howe's Toon.

"I do yes [think Liverpool will get top four], the players are coming back," Agbonlahor told the All To Play For Podcast earlier this week. "Diaz is coming back, Jota is back as well.

"Those players have more than enough. Spurs, you know what they’re like when the pressure comes, they will crumble, Newcastle will get top six but not top four at the moment.

"Liverpool know that if they want to sign a player like Bellingham, the least they have to have is Champions League football, I don’t think he goes to a Europa League side."
