Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:15 GMT match.

• Fixture: Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur

• Date: Tuesday, 02 December 2025

• Kick-off: 20:15 GMT

• Venue: St. James' Park

Newcastle United come into this match with a strong home record, having won their last two home games against Manchester City and Fulham. Their recent form suggests they have the momentum to challenge Tottenham, especially with a solid lineup featuring key players like Joelinton and Bruno Guimarães. The Magpies' attacking trio of Barnes, Elanga, and Woltemade could exploit Tottenham's defensive vulnerabilities, particularly after the London side's recent losses.

Tottenham, after early promise, have struggled recently, losing three of their last five matches. Their form has been poor at home and away, with a heavy defeat at Arsenal and a loss to Fulham. Despite this, they have players like Kolo Muani and Kudus who can cause problems for Newcastle's defence. However, given Newcastle's current form and home advantage, it's likely they'll come out on top in a closely contested match.

Match Prediction: Newcastle United 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Newcastle United have shown great resilience and form in their recent matches, winning three out of their last five. Their victories against strong teams like Manchester City and Fulham at home indicate a high level of confidence and momentum going into this match. Despite the two away losses to Brentford and West Ham, their home form suggests they are well-positioned to perform well against Tottenham.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Win: 4-1 vs Everton (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Manchester City (H)
• Loss: 1-3 vs Brentford (A)
• Loss: 1-3 vs West Ham United (A)
• Win: 2-1 vs Fulham (H)

Tottenham Hotspur have had a tough run lately, managing only one win in their last five games. Their recent losses, including a home defeat to Fulham and a heavy loss to Arsenal away, show a team struggling to find consistency. The draw against Manchester United at home is a small positive, but overall, their form suggests they might struggle against a confident Newcastle side.

Recent Premier League Results:

• Loss: 1-2 vs Fulham (H)
• Loss: 1-4 vs Arsenal (A)
• Draw: 2-2 vs Manchester United (H)
• Loss: 0-1 vs Chelsea (H)
• Win: 3-0 vs Everton (A)

The head-to-head record between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur shows a competitive rivalry, with Newcastle winning four out of the last five encounters. The most recent match saw Newcastle triumph 2-1 away at Tottenham, continuing their dominance in this fixture. However, Tottenham did manage a convincing 4-1 win in December 2023, indicating they can pose a threat when at their best.

Newcastle United are expected to line up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Aaron Ramsdale in goal and a back four of Hall, Thiaw, Livramento, and Burn. The midfield trio of Joelinton, Guimarães, and Miley will provide both defensive solidity and creative play, supporting the attacking line of Barnes, Elanga, and Woltemade.

• Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Porro (DF), Danso (DF), van de Ven (DF), Udogie (DF), Palhinha (MF), Gray (MF), Kudus (MF), Bergvall (MF), Kolo Muani (AT), Richarlison (AT)

Tottenham Hotspur are likely to deploy a 4-4-2 formation, with Vicario between the posts and a defensive line of Danso, Udogie, Porro, and van de Ven. The midfield will be anchored by Palhinha and Gray, with Bergvall and Kudus providing support to the forwards Richarlison and Kolo Muani, aiming to exploit any gaps in Newcastle's defence.

• Harvey Barnes vs Pedro Porro: Barnes' pace and dribbling skills will be tested against Porro's defensive nous.

• Joelinton vs Archie Gray: Joelinton's physicality and work rate will be crucial in containing Gray's composure and creativity.

• Nick Woltemade (Newcastle United): His ability to dominate defenders on the ground and in the air makes him a key threat for Newcastle.

• Richarlison (Tottenham Hotspur): Richarlison's goal-scoring prowess and movement in the box will be vital for Tottenham's chances.
