Newcastle United’s situation does not improve following their defeat to Everton.
The Magpies‘ poor away record will be put to the test again as they travel to Tottenham Hotspur.
It’s also a quick turnaround, with Newcastle playing in the Europa League on Thursday and Sunday.
The Spurs, who also lost on Thursday night, are in the same boat. Despite gaining the lead, West Ham United defeated them 2-1 at home.
Ange Postecoglou‘s team is suffering after a promising start to the season. They are currently five Premier League games without a win due to their own injury concerns.
Fortunately for them, they are set to face a side that has even more injuries than they do and has only won one Premier League game on the road all season.
It’s going to be an exciting game, and Spurs are expected to win, according to Paul Merson.
Newcastle will lose to Tottenham on Sunday, according to Paul Merson.
Merson predicts Tottenham will beat Newcastle 2-1 on Sunday in his latest essay for Sportskeeda.
“Like the previous game, this one is difficult to call because it is dependent on what happens between West Ham and Tottenham.” That being said, I have a hunch Ange Postecoglou’s team will steal this one,” he added.
“Newcastle have been outstanding so far, but most of their players are playing out of their skins, so I believe they will be caught off guard sooner or later.” The Magpies also have a UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan coming up, so they’ll be focused on that game as they still have a chance to advance to the knockout rounds.
“They don’t control their destiny, so they’ll have to win against the Serie A giants and hope Borussia Dortmund does them a favour against Paris Saint-Germain, so it’ll be an interesting one to watch.”
“Spurs are on a bit of a bad run, but something tells me they’ll show up and record a narrow 2-1 win.”
Tottenham will want vengeance against Newcastle after their defeat last season.
Back-to-back defeats would be difficult to bear, and it would not be ideal preparation for next week’s crucial Champions League match against AC Milan.
Newcastle‘s team is exhausted, but there is no time to rest. Their journey to Goodison Park did not go as planned, and Eddie Howe’s team will need to improve at Spurs.
Last season, they won at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, scooping up a crucial three points that made opponents take notice.
Newcastle‘s talent is well known, and Spurs will be out for vengeance after the Magpies did the double over them in 2022/23.
Merson anticipates a close game, but feels Postecoglu will be the one rejoicing at the end. Let’s hope he’s wrong, as he was concerning Newcastle’s match versus Everton.
