Predicted Results : Tottenham 3 – 0 Newcastle
Match Preview : Despite finishing 4th in the EPL points table, last season was probably the best campaign for the Spurs. The club from the North London qualified for the UCL final where they were beaten by Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool. Just a few years back, the Lilywhites were the regular contestants for the UEFA Europa League, but Argentine manager Mauricio Pochettino has taken the club to a whole new level. They have finished ahead of Arsenal in the last couple of years.
The Spurs are a balanced side. They have got reliable goal keeper in between the sticks. Hugo Lloris led France to World Cup victory and almost won the UCL in the very next season. Their defensive options are also world class. Belgian duo Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen proved to be one of the best defenders in the planet. English duo Danny Rose and Kieran Trippier serving very well in the full back positions. The fantastic four in the attack, will make life difficult for any team.
The manager post of the Newcastle is yet to be filled when this post has been written. So we hardly can talk about the Magpies’ formation and playing xi. But I don’t expect an easy time ahead for the visiting defenders and keeper against the likes of Kane, Alli, Son and Eriksen. I predict a clean sheet for the home side and 3 goals in the bag with a Harry Kane brace.
