Tottenham host Newcastle today in what looks a mouth-watering Premier League clash.
Spurs endured the ignominy of taking the lead yet failing to win for the fifth game in a row - a Premier League first - while also becoming the first to do so in three straight home games.

Finally carrying a lead over the line will no doubt be a satisfying moment when it does happen for Ange Postecoglou, but there is always the worry that his positive start will decline further as the top four slips from their grasp.
Newcastle, fresh from a 3-0 defeat at Everton, have been more a typical kind of inconsistent while suffering from an injury crisis.
Near-perfect at home this season, the Toon have only managed a single win on their travels in the league.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Tottenham vs Newcastle is scheduled for a 4.30pm GMT kick-off today, Sunday, December 10, 2023.

Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction
It is very easy to see this game unfolding just as Spurs' last few have, the hosts attacking early and making a breakthrough before being pegged back. Howe will surely set his team up to disrupt Tottenham on the counter but whether his defence can stand strong is another matter.
A 2-2 draw.
