Chris Sutton predicts Spurs to go for a win at St. James’ Park to cement Top-Four
Tottenham Hotspur are set to play Newcastle United at St. James Park in an early kick-off tomorrow. Spurs will be looking to build on their win against Nottingham Forest last weekend.
The Lilywhites have finally leapfrogged Aston Villa in the fourth position as they look to qualify for the UEFA Champions League campaign next season, and Ange Postecoglou & Co. will be looking to extend their advantage over the Villans when they face the Magpies at the weekend.
Eddie Howe’s side are making a European competition bow of their own going into the business end of the season. They are just two points behind Manchester United in sixth place going into the game. While they are in decent form of their own following a 1-0 win over Fulham last weekend, which came after a surprise draw to Everton.
Newcastle have picked up ten points in their last five league games, and they will be putting their mettle to the test when they face Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham tomorrow.
What did Sutton write on Newcastle vs Tottenham?
BBC Sport Columnist Chris Sutton has made an interesting claim in his Premier League predictions ahead of the game. He insists that Spurs would not settle for a draw and would be looking to go full throttle at St. James Park tomorrow to ensure they get the win and the three points on the board.
“I didn’t see Newcastle’s win at Fulham last week coming, but it was a great result and it means they are looking up the table now, with their sights set on sixth place. Tottenham’s target is to finish fourth and they won’t settle for a point here. It is going to be very close but I have got a feeling they will edge it.”
