The Top Flight

Newcastle have won four of their last five meetings with Tottenham, although the Magpies were smashed 4-1 when the pair last clashed in North London; the ten encounters between the duo since the start of 2020 have produced 43 goals, meaning a goal is scored every 21 minutes on average.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Preview

Will Newcastle United's winning streak continue? On Monday night, the Magpies swatted Manchester United aside at Old Trafford, with Alexander Isak and Joelinton on target in the first 20 minutes and, in truth, the 2-0 scoreline flattered the hosts, given that Newcastle could very easily have run riot in the first half. Nevertheless, this makes it five successive victories for Eddie Howe's team, ousting Brentford from the EFL Cup while also concluding 2024 with four league victories on the spin, scoring 16 times across these five wins.

As a result, the Toon Army have propelled up to fifth, which is expected to be enough to secure Champions League qualification. This is the first of two crucial visits to North London in just four days for Newcastle, also set to face Arsenal in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final this forthcoming Tuesday. Ahead of that tie, will the traveling Geordies have another victory to celebrate?

In stark contrast to their visitors from the North East, Tottenham Hotspur are in terrible form, not going into their own League Cup semi-final against Liverpool with much belief at all. On Sunday, Spurs were held to a 2-2 draw by Wolves at home, falling behind early but then leading thanks to first half goals from Rodrigo Bentancur and then Brennan Johnson, only to concede three minutes from time.

This means Ange Postecoglou's side won just one of their seven league matches in December, their sole victory of the month coming at rock-bottom Southampton, while they fell behind in 15 seperate Premier League home games throughout 2024, a new calendar year record. The Lilywhites continue to languish in 11th and, following cup ties against Liverpool and Tamworth, their next two league fixtures are away at Arsenal and then Everton, so the pressure will only crank up further if they fail to collect three points here.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Having only just returned following a seven-match ban, Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended, after being shown his fifth caution of the campaign last Sunday. Guglielmo Vicario, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Ben Davies, Wilson Odobert, Mikey Moore and Richarlison all remain sidelined long-term while, to compound their defensive injury crisis, Destiny Udogie is now sidelined, having suffered a hamstring injury against Wolves. In some much-needed good news, Djed Spence can return following a one-match ban, while many Spurs supporters want to see teenaged centre-back Alfie Dorrington handed his full-Premier League debut, following a 13-minute cameo at St Mary's. Elsewhere, James Maddison hasn't started either of the last two games, but will he return to the lineup?

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Newcastle United: (4-2-3-1): Forster; Spence, Gray, Drăgușin, Porro; Bissouma, Matar Sarr, Johnson, Kuluševski, Son Heung-min; Solanke.

Dejan Kuluševski has seven goals and eight assists to his name this season, scoring in five successive appearances prior to Christmas, although the Swede is yet to net in five attempts against Newcastle.

Newcastle United Team News

Fabian Schär is suspended, having unnecessarily collected his fifth caution of the campaign on Monday. So, with Jamaal Lascelles and Emil Krafth sidelined and Sven Botman still being eased back to full-fitness, Lloyd Kelly will come in partnering Dan Burn for the very first time. Former Spurs defender Kieran Trippier has started the last two matches at right-back, but most envisage that Tino Livramento will get the nod this time following illness. Those disruptions to the back four aside, Eddie Howe's team is very settled, with the front six set to be unchanged from the rampant victory at Manchester United; Nick Pope and Callum Wilson are long-term absentees.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-3-3): Dúbravka; Livramento, Kelly, Burn, Hall; Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton; Murphy, Gordon, Isak.

Alexander Isak headed home his 13th of the season at Old Trafford, scoring in a sixth successive Premier League fixture, while he's previously netted five times in four meetings with Spurs, including the winner when the pair last met in September.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Prediction

This clash guarantees goals, but we're backing Newcastle to collect all three points. Spurs' defensive injury crisis continues to be exacerbated every game, while the Magpies are on a roll, appearing unstoppable right now, with Tottenham ill-equipped to halt them:Â Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Newcastle United.

What is the date and kick-off time for Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United in the Premier League?

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United takes place on Saturday 4 January 2025, with kick off at 12:30 (GMT), 7:30 (EDT) & 4:30 (PST).

Wolves have actually won each of their last three meetings with Spurs, achieving this for the first time in the 116-year history of this fixture, actually winning four of their last six visits to either Wembley or the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, most-recently prevailing 2-1 in N17 in February.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview

Will Wolverhampton Wanderers' remarkably recent form continue? A week ago, Vítor Pereira took charge of Wolves for the very first time and could not have dreamt of a better start, overseeing a 3-0 demolition of Leicester, all the goals coming in a 25-minute first half spree. Then on Boxing Day, the Old Gold were victorious again, this time defeating ten-man Man United 2-0 at Molineux; Matheus Cunha scoring straight from a corner, before the Brazilian turned provider, putting it on a plate for Hwang Hee-chan to rubber stamp victory in stoppage time. Prior to Pereira's appointment, Wolves had lost four on the spin, but these back-to-back victories have seen them leap out of the bottom three, now seeking three successive Premier League wins for the first time in 364 days.

Tottenham Hotspur meantime are in desperate need of victory, kicking off 11th, 13 points worse off than at this stage a year ago. On Boxing Day, Ange Postecoglou's team were beaten once again, this time defeated 1-0 at the City Ground by Nottingham Forest. As a result, Spurs have now lost four of their last five league outings, their sole league victory of December, in six attempts, coming against bottom of the table Southampton.

Yes the Lilywhites' high-scoring games against Chelsea, Man United and Liverpool are what garner all the headlines, but it's low-scoring defeats at the hands of Palace, Ipswich, Bournemouth and now Forest that are really holding this team back. After this, Tottenham's next two league fixtures are against in-form Newcastle and then a North London derby at Arsenal, with the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final against Liverpool in-between. So, should Spurs fail to win this one, a tough-looking start to 2025 will only appear even more daunting.

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Ange Postecoglou is extremely short of defensive options right now. Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Ben Davies are all sidelined, Radu Drăgușin is a doubt, having hobbled off on Boxing Day, while Djed Spence's late red card against his former employers means he is suspended. Thus, Pedro Porro will return, while Sergio Reguilón could feature for Tottenham in the Premier League for the first time in 988 days; he's represented three other clubs during the intervening period.

Rodrigo Bentancur's ban is now over, with the Uruguayan starting at the City Ground, but will either Yves Bissouma or James Maddison return to midfield, after both began on the bench on Thursday? In Guglielmo Vicario's continued absence, Fraser Forster will start a tenth successive match, while attackers Mikey Moore, Richarlison and Wilson Odobert are also sidelined. Maddison and Bentancur would sit out next Saturday's visit from Newcastle if cautioned.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Wolverhampton Wanderers: (4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Gray, Drăgușin, Udogie; Bissouma, Bentancur, Kuluševski, Maddison, Son Heung-min; Solanke.

Tottenham Hotspur Player to Watch vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

Son Heung-min has seven goals to his name this season, although he's never previously netted in 12 attempts against Wolves, by far the most occasions he's faced a single opponent without scoring- eight outings against Bayer Leverkusen is the next most.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Team News

Vítor Pereira has instantaneously discovered a winning formulae at Wolves, making just a solitary change from his first game to his second, with Rayan Aït-Nouri, returning from suspension, reinstated at left-wing-back. Given that they've won both matches, minimal changes are forecast. Yerson Mosquera, Boubacar Traoré, Mario Lemina and Saša Kalajdžić are all injured, while Hwang Hee-chan will be hoping to see some more minutes, having belatedly opened his account for the campaign on Boxing Day. Star striker Matheus Cunha has been charged by the FA due to his behaviour following the defeat to Ipswich, meaning a ban is imminent, although, for now, he's still available. Toti and Aït-Nouri meantime would miss next Monday's clash with Nottingham Forst if cautioned.

Wolverhampton Wanderers predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (3-4-2-1): José Sá; Doherty, Toti, Bueno; Semedo, André, João Gomes, Aït-Nouri; Guedes, Strand Larsen, Cunha.

Wolverhampton Wanderers Player to Watch vs Tottenham Hotspur

We've already mentioned him, but Matheus Cunha is Wolves' star man, scoring his tenth of the season against Man United so, assuming he's available, can he add to his tally?

Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers Prediction

We are backing Spurs for victory in this one, even if Wolves will more than fancy their chances. Given that the last eight matches played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium have produced 40 goals, with both teams scoring in all eight, an entertaining affair is guaranteed:Â Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Wolverhampton Wanderers.

What is the date and kick-off time for Tottenham Hotspur vs Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League?

Tottenham vs Wolves takes place on Sunday 29 December 2024, with kick off at 15:00 (GMT), 10:00 (EDT) & 7:00 (PST).

The last eight meetings between these two clubs have produced 32 goals, an average of four per game, with both teams scoring in all of them, so expect another goal-fest in North London.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Preview

These two clubs will need to get well acquainted, set to meet in the EFL Cup semi-finals, the first leg of which is coming up in just 17 days time, which is good news for all neutrals, considering these two often serve up thrillers. Liverpool travel to North London seeking a victory that would make sure they are top of the Premier League at Christmas for the seventh time.

Last Sunday, despite seeing Andy Robertson sent off inside 17 minutes, the Reds fought back twice to earn a point with Fulham at Anfield, thanks to equalisers from both Cody Gakpo and then Diogo Jota in front of the Kop. Arne Slot's side have now drawn back-to-back league games, albeit they are unbeaten in 20 matches across all competitions in a single season for the first time since 1996.

For Slot himself, he's won 20 of 24 matches in charge of Liverpool, the joint-fastest any manager in English top-flight history has reached 20 victories, alongside William Sudell of Preston North End in 1888/89- that's 136 years ago! These statistics are true as of Wednesday night, after the Reds dumped Southampton out of the League Cup, thanks to goals by Darwin Núñez and then Harvey Elliott soon after. Thus, the 3,000 or so Reds braving a trip to the capital just before Christmas will do so expecting another victory.

Tottenham Hotspur though are like a festive box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get. On Thursday night, Spurs kept alive their hopes of Carabao Cup success by dumping out Manchester United in a seven-goal thriller. The Lilywhites were 3-0 up with less than 55 minutes on the clock, thanks to Dominic Solanke's brace, while Dejan Kuluševski scored in-between.

However, not one but two pieces of catastrophic footwork from Fraser Forster, a mere seven minutes apart, presented Man United with a route back into it, only for Son Heung-min to score an Olimpico direct from a corner and, despite a late goal back for the visitors, Spurs held on for victory. It's been a vital week for Ange Postecoglou, considering his side smashed Southampton 5-0 last Sunday, all the goals coming in the first half, a result that ended Tottenham's five-match winless streak, although they do remain tenth, a humungous 13 points worse off than their visitors.

Last season, Spurs infamously beat Liverpool 2-1 at home, Luis Díaz incorrectly having a goal ruled out by VAR, "good process lads" and all that, before the Reds were reduced to nine-men, with Joël Matip's 96th minute own goal seeing the hosts snatch victory. So now, can Tottenham claim back-to-back home wins over Liverpool for the first time since 2012, or will Slot's side extend their unbeaten streak?

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies are sidelined, but Ange Postecoglou is optimistic that Destiny Udogie could return at left-back, having hobbled off at St Mary's a week ago. In his place, Djed Spence deputised against Man United, while Sergio Reguilón came off the bench very late on, his first outing in a Spurs shirt for 978 days, representing three other clubs, Atlético Madrid, Man United and Brentford, during this timeframe. Elsewhere, this is the last of Rodrigo Bentancur's seven-match ban, while Richarlison, Wilson Odobert and Mikey Moore all remain injured. Brennan Johnson, who couldn't stop scoring earlier this season, is set to once again begin on the bench, while Timo Werner could return to the matchday squad, having missed out on Thursday due to a fever.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Liverpool: (4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Gray, Drăgușin, Udogie; Bissouma, Matar Sarr, Kuluševski, Maddison, Son Heung-min; Solanke.

Tottenham Hotspur Player to Watch vs Liverpool

Dejan Kuluševski scored his sixth of the season in mid-week, on target in a fourth successive appearance, so can the Swede net against Liverpool for the very first time?

Liverpool Team News

Andy Robertson's red card last weekend means he is suspended, which makes Kostas Tsimikas' return from injury timely, coming off the bench at half time on Wednesday for his first appearance since 5 November. Elsewhere, Ibrahima Konaté and Conor Bradley are sidelined, but Harvey Elliott started for the first time this season in mid-week, marking the occasion with a goal. Alexis Mac Allister also started against Southampton, having been banned for the last two matches, set to keep his place in midfield, but will it be Dominik Szoboszlai who misses out? Fit-again Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota also featured by the South Coast, but they alongside mid-week scorer Darwin Núñez will be on the bench, with the big-guns, who didn't even travel to St Mary's, all back in. Ryan Gravenberch and Núñez will sit out Leicester's visit to Anfield on Boxing Day if booked.

Liverpool predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-2-3-1): Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Tsimikas; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Jones; Salah, Luis Díaz, Gakpo.

Liverpool Player to Watch vs Tottenham Hotspur

Mohamed Salah already has 16 goals to his name this season so, following a week off, the Egyptian will be aiming to add to his 12 career strikes against Spurs, only finding a Man United net with more frequency.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool Prediction

This clash guarantees goals for certain, but were almost as confident that it'll produce a Liverpool victory too. The Reds are on a roll right now, able to rotate almost the entire team in mid-week, a luxury not afforded to injury-plagued Spurs, meaning it would be a massive upset if Tottenham were able to derail Liverpool's title aspirations in that final fixture before Christmas:Â Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Liverpool.

What is the date and kick-off time for Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool in the Premier League?

Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool takes place on Sunday 22 December 2024, with kick off at 16:30 (GMT), 11:30 (EDT) & 8:30 (PST).

Tottenham are unbeaten in four meetings with Manchester United, their longest streak for a decade, including a thumping 3-0 victory at Old Trafford in September. However, the Red Devils have won the last two League Cup clashes between the duo, including prevailing on penalties in the 2009 final.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Preview

The tie of the round in the Carabao Cup has been saved for last, but who will be celebrating a semi-final spot on Thursday night in North London? Earlier this season, Ange Postecoglou declared that he always wins a trophy in his second season, a fact Spurs supporters are desperate to remain true because, by the time the final comes round, it'll be in excess of 17 years since their club captured silverware. So far in this competition, the Lilywhites have left it late to beat Coventry, scoring twice at the death, before battling to a 2-1 victory over Man City in October, with goals from Timo Werner and Pape Matar Sarr seemingly starting the Sky Blues' death spiral.

In more recent times, Tottenham had been winless in five, before ending that sequence in some style on Sunday night, smashing Southampton 5-0 at St Mary's, all the goals coming in the first half, including James Maddison breaking the deadlock inside 44 seconds. Despite this victory, Spurs remain tenth in the Premier League table, ahead of Sunday's heavyweight clash with leaders Liverpool, meaning cup competitions are what's keeping the spark alive for Postecoglou's team, making victory in this tie so crucial.

Manchester United meantime, backed by 5,800 supporters, will be brimming with confidence, following derby day victory in the most dramatic circumstances on Sunday. Despite being a goal down with just two minutes to play, the Red Devils, somehow, turned it around to beat Man City at the Etihad, with Bruno Fernandes equalising from the penalty spot before, 115 seconds later, Amad spectacularly snatched victory.

Rúben Amorim's team had lost back-to-back league outings beforehand, meaning Man United are actually a point below their hosts, down in 13th, so like Spurs are targeting glory in the cup competitions to salvage this season. This will be Man United's third EFL Cup tie of the campaign, led by three different managers, smashing Barnsley 7-0 under Erik ten Hag, before Ruud van Nistelrooy oversaw the demolition of his future employers Leicester, ending 5-2. So, will Amorim enjoy another statement victory on the road, or can Spurs make home advantage count?

Tottenham Hotspur Team News

Ange Postecoglou is still without Guglielmo Vicario, Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, Mikey Moore, Wilson Odobert and Richarlsion, while Rodrigo Bentancur remains suspended, after his seven-game suspension was upheld following appeal. In better news, Yves Bissouma can returned following a one-match ban, while Djed Spence made his full-Premier League debut on Sunday night, doing so 881 days after signing. He may be needed again, after Destiny Udogie hobbled off during the first half at Southampton, this time filling in at left-back, with Sergio Reguilón in the proverbial wilderness. Lastly, James Maddison's brace by the South Coast could see him keep his place, chosen over Brennan Johnson.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Manchester United: (4-2-3-1): Forster; Porro, Gray, Drăgușin, Spence; Matar Sarr, Bissouma, Kuluševski, Maddison, Son Heung-min; Solanke.

Dejan Kuluševski has been on target during each of Spurs' last three matches, taking his tally to five goals for the campaign, one of which came during the demolition at Old Trafford, so will the Swede's scoring spree continue?

Manchester United Team News

The headline team news at the weekend was that both Alejandro Garnacho and Marcus Rashford were left out of the squad for the Manchester derby, so it'll be interesting to see if either are brought back into the fold. Rúben Amorim continues to make wholesale changes on a game-by-game basis, with Kobbie Mainoo likely to come into midfield, after Mason Mount hobbled off just 14 minutes into Sunday's victory. Leny Yoro could also start for just the second time in defence while, in goal, Altay Bayındır has started both EFL Cup ties so far, but André Onana is expected to be between the sticks.

Manchester United predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: (4-3-3): Onana; Yoro, de Ligt, Martínez; Dalot, Ugarte, Mainoo, Mazraoui; Fernandes, Amad, Højlund.

Bruno Fernandes slotted home his sixth of the season from 12 yards on Sunday, while the midfielder has previously netted three times against Spurs, two of which have come from the penalty spot.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester United Prediction

This tie is so tough to call, but we're backing Manchester United to leave North London victorious. The Red Devils boast significantly greater squad depth right now, which could make a massive difference, so buoyed by their comeback victory at the weekend, we're forecasting that Man United will sneak through to the last four:Â Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Manchester United.
