Newcastle vs Tottenham, Premier League preview: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, h2h, team news

Tottenham will look to build on their north London derby win over Arsenal when they head to Newcastle United tonight.

Victory over the Gunners saw Jose Mourinho's side leapfrog their rivals back into eighth place but there is still plenty of work to do in their bid to secure qualification for the Europa League.

Tottenham's form has been patchy to say the least since the restart, but might that win over Arsenal prove to be a turning point?

Date, time and venue

Newcastle vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 6pm BST kick-off tonight.

The match will be behind closed doors at St James' Park with no fans due to be present due to government guidelines regarding coronavirus.

How to watch

TV channel: The match will be televised live on BT Sport 1, with coverage starting from 5.30pm.

Live Stream: BT Sport subscribers will be able to stream the match online via the video player and the BT Sport app.

Team news

Dele Alli has missed Tottenham’s last three matches due to a hamstring injury and could be a doubt for the trip north this week.

Serge Aurier is unlikely to be involved following the tragic death of his brother in the early hours of Monday morning.

Eric Dier is suspended meanwhile while Troy Parrott continues his recovery from appendix surgery last month.

Prediction: Newcastle 1-1 Tottenham

This has typically been a tough fixture for Spurs and while Newcastle have lost back-to-back matches after that promising restart, they remain tough opposition on home soil.

Head to head (h2h) history and results

This will be the 163rd fixture between these two sides with Spurs winning 70 of those over the years - Newcastle claiming 59 wins of their own.

Newcastle picked up a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture in London last October - but lost four on the bounce prior to that.
