Antonio Conte will hope his side can get three points at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Eddie Howe's squad travel to N17 on Sunday. When Spurs played Newcastle earlier in the season, goals from Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele secured a 3-2 victory, ahead of the Italian's arrival.
The Lilywhites are now very much in the battle for a top-four spot, currently sitting three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal. Tottenham's north London rivals do have a game in hand but also face, on paper, a much more difficult final stretch of games in the Premier League season.
All Conte can do is focus on his side's performances and help lead them to maximum points in their final nine games of the campaign. After success and struggles for his players who went on international duty, the Italian will hope they all return to Hotspur Way unscathed.
