Your support makes all the difference.Tottenham take on Newcastle today in a mouth-watering clash at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in both teams’ first Premier League match since the international break.
Newcastle suffered a disappointing defeat to Everton last time out but remain nine points clear of trouble despite back-to-back losses after an incredible unbeaten run to begin 2022 under Eddie Howe.
They face a stiff test travelling to north London where Spurs are having a rollercoaster season but are still chasing hard to finish in the top four.
Back-to-back wins over Brighton and West Ham have left Antonio Conte’s men three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, having played one game more, so they can ill-afford any mistakes in the race for Europe.

36’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
Joelinton and Willock combine on the edge of the box and Son takes down the latter on the edge of the box.
Decent shooting chance for the Magpies...
32’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
Newcastle have weathered that early spell of possession from the hosts and are now earning themselves a few attacks too.
Shelvey’s attempted crossfield ball to Saint-Maximin almost looks like it could open Spurs up, but he slips and it’s through to Lloris.
Just a few more spaces now opening up in the middle of the pitch - and Hojbjerg breaks forward to head just over the bar.
26’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
Burn reaches a corner but his header lacks any power. In then trying to recover the ball, which has bounced out of the box, he simply barges Romero out of the way and gives away a free-kick. Spurs play out quicky from their own half and it ends in a shot from Son - it’s weak, and Dubravka saves.
Nice play from Bentancur, Kulusevski wanted it off Son.
22’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
Willock turns in the box as Newcastle finally find a way into the attacking half of the pitch, but his strike is blocked by a brilliant recovery lunge from Romero. Excellent from the centre-back.
Son now turns with space to move into for Spurs, but his choice of pass isn’t the best and Newcastle can again recover.
18’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
Eric Dier curls a free-kick at goal from about 30 yards out. It looks excitingly close, as it smashes the support post behind the goal, but it’s not really. A good three yards wide or so.
Dubravka not bothered.
Saint-Maximin and Bentancur collide in the middle of the park and the Newcastle man needs some attention.
14’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
As a good example of the flow of the match so far, Ryan Fraser has had one touch after 14 minutes.
Harry Kane spins on the edge of the box to shoot, but doesn’t quite connect properly and the ball drifts away off-target.
Spurs still very much in the ascendency, but it’s all perhaps slightly too slow to unduly trouble Newcastle just yet.
8’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
Spurs putting some sustained pressure on the Newcastle defence now, Bentancur and Kulusevski both picking the ball up quickly after possession is lost to not allow the visitors any chance to break out of their deep block.
Kane and Son haven’t been too prominent yet, but it’s early days. Newcastle needing to stay concentrated.
4’ - Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
Newcastle made a few early probes into attacking areas, but Spurs have quickly gained a foothold with possession and playing through the thirds. Both wing-backs are getting plenty of the ball, Dier and Bentancur keen to switch the direction of play whenever possible.
Kulusevski is looking to get involved as much as possible too.
Kick-off! Tottenham 0-0 Newcastle
We are underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs looking to go fourth, Newcastle looking to move one place up to 14th if they win.
Newcastle tight at the back
Eddie Howe has tightened Newcastle up at the back since taking over as boss.
The Magpies haven't conceded more than once in any of their last 11 Premier League games and shipped only eight goals in that time.
They did lose their final two games before the international break - against Chelsea and Everton - but only by a 1-0 scoreline with the winning goals being scored in the 89th and 90th minutes.
