Tottenham got theirs in the game against Aston Villa, while Newcastle could not get anything out of the game against Manchester City.
Currently Tottenham are 5th with 30 points in 18 games, home record of W4 D4 L1, scoring 14 goals and conceding 9 in those games. The team has been unbeaten at home in the last 7 home games, achieving 4 victories and 3 draws.
Newcastle are currently 9th with 22 points in 18 games, away record of W3 D1 L4, scoring 8 and conceding 15 goals in those games. What’s good to know here is that the Spurs have won just one and lost six of their last seven Premier League matches against Newcastle. Newcastle already surprised Arsenal with an away victory on Emirates, can this be done on White Hart Lane?
Newcastle has lost both of their last 2 away games against Bolton and West Bromwich, while Tottenham looks strong at home with only one loss.

Van der Vaart was superb in the game against Villa, scoring 2 goals, bringing the victory to the team, and priceless 3 points. He is priced to score at 2.10 in this game.
Seems like there two teams have exactly the same percentage of Under and Over scored. 8 of the 16 games played here have ended Over 2.5 Goals, and 8 have ended Under 2.5 Goals. The odds for the Over bet are 1.65, while for the Under are 2.20, so obviously the bookmakers expect at least 3 goals in this game.
However 5 of the last 7 games, have ended Under 2.5 Goals with only one side scoring.
Personally I’ll back the home victory with a handicap of -1, due to Tottenham’s wonderful shape and performance showed in Birmingham with 10 men on the field. The team kept pressuring Villa even with a man less and was able to score a second goal, which brought them 3 points. Tottenham plays even better at home, which only make me think that we are going to see even better performance today.
