The top four race is hotting up nicely, and two of the big teams competing for a coveted Champions League slot meet at St James’ Park later this month. Newcastle United vs. Tottenham tickets are still available, and fans of the Magpies and Spurs will no doubt be keen to see their team in action in what promises to be a blood and thunder encounter.
When Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United side went through a tough spell at the turn of the year, winning just one game in eight, many felt that the north-east side were struggling to maintain their foothold at the upper end of the table, but his side has responded superbly in recent weeks.
A run of five straight wins has helped the club move back into the top four, and the way in which the team’s front-men have performed in this period will have been particularly pleasing for Howe.
Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak have usually alternated as the lead striker, and both have been among the goals, which has been crucial as Paraguayan wide-man Miguel Almiron has been out of action during their recent run.
Out of sorts Tottenham
Tottenham, on the other hand, have been out of sorts, and the inevitable departure of unhappy boss Antonio Conte may well prove to be either a correct decision or a monumental failure by chairman Daniel Levy.
They are now fronted by Cristian Stellini, who has taken over as acting head coach and has overseen a steadying of the ship. The team drew away at Everton and then, somewhat fortunately, edged out in-form Brighton at home, with the south-coast side rightly feeling aggrieved at some decisions made, or not made, by those in the VAR team.
The win saw off-form South Korean Heung-Min Son secure his 100th Premier League goal, and, as usual, Harry Kane grabbed another to give Spurs the win.
They take on Newcastle United on the 23rd of April in a game they can not afford to lose. At the moment, only three points separate the teams that sit in third and fifth places, and therefore, a win for Tottenham could prove pivotal.
The two teams met at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in late October, and on that occasion, goals from Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron helped Howe’s team to a big win in North London, with Harry Kane replying for the hosts.
The race for a top-four spot also includes Manchester United, who currently sit sandwiched between the two teams in fourth, and fans of Erik ten Hag’s team will no doubt be hoping for a draw between their two rivals.
When it comes to interest in Premier League tickets, this clash is going to be one of the most sought-after occasions left in the 2022/23 season, and you can now take a look at what’s available at SeatPick for the game between the two English giants.
