Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Newcastle United to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Tuesday night in a highly anticipated clash, as the two sides meet in the 26th round of the Premier League.
Tottenham enter the match looking to bounce back after their four-game unbeaten run came to an end with a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday.
Newcastle also suffered a setback on the same day, falling to a dramatic 3-2 home loss against Brentford.
The current season has been a challenging one for Tottenham under head coach Thomas Frank, with injuries and inconsistent results taking their toll.
Defensive woes were compounded in the last match by the red card shown to Cristian Romero, which equaled an unwanted club record and added further pressure following the recent defeat.
Former Europa League champions Tottenham are now focused on avoiding a slide toward the relegation zone.
The North London side are without a league victory in their last seven matches and sit just six points clear of 18th-placed West Ham United, increasing concerns over their league position.
Newcastle United are also experiencing a difficult period under Eddie Howe.
The Magpies have lost three consecutive matches across all competitions and are now five games without a win since their last victory over PSV Eindhoven, intensifying scrutiny on the manager.
Despite sitting in the lower half of the table, Newcastle remain closer to the European qualification spots than the relegation zone, though recent performances have raised questions about their momentum and consistency.
Tottenham currently occupy 15th place in the Premier League standings with 29 points, while Newcastle sit 12th with 33 points, setting the stage for a tense and important showdown in North London.
