The next Premier League encounter between Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur and Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United has been predicted by Paul Merson.
The former Arsenal player and Sky Sports commentator predicts three goals in the match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
So, what did Paul Merson have to say about Tottenham Hotspur’s match versus Newcastle United? Let us investigate.
Paul Merson backs Tottenham Hotspur win v Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur will face Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs and Newcastle both lost on Thursday night. While Tottenham lost to West Ham United in the London derby, Newcastle were defeated 3-0 at Goodison Park by relegation-threatened Everton.
Former Arsenal player Paul Merson believes Spurs will win all three points against Newcastle.
The Sky Sports pundit believes Ange Postecoglou’s team will win 2-1.
“Like the previous game, this is a tough one to call because it depends on what happens between West Ham and Tottenham,” Merson told SportsKeeda. That being said, I have a hunch Ange Postecoglou’s team will take this one.
“Newcastle have been outstanding so far, but most of their players are playing out of their skins, so I think things will catch up with them sooner or later. The Magpies have a UEFA Champions League clash against AC Milan coming up too, so they’ll have one eye on that game as they are still in with a chance of making it through to the knockout stages.
“They don’t have their destiny in their own hands, so they’ll have to secure a win against the Serie A giants and hope Borussia Dortmund do them a favor against Paris Saint-Germain, so it’ll be an interesting one to keep an eye out for.
“Spurs are on a bit of a bad run, but something tells me they’ll show up and record a narrow 2-1 win.
“Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Newcastle United.”
My View: Tottenham Hotspur will win vs Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur will, in my opinion, eke out a win over Newcastle United in the Premier League on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
I believe the Spurs will complete the task. Tottenham’s problem in recent games has been that they have conceded far too many goals.
Tottenham, like Aston Villa, failed to hold on to their lead against West Ham United in the London derby.
Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou, I believe, will correct that against Newcastle. The Magpies are not at their best, thus I predict Tottenham to win over Eddie Howe’s team.
