Newcastle have underachieved so far this campaign and have only really clicked into gear in the last couple of weeks, whereas Tottenham are flying high in fourth place and are looking to overhaul Chelsea in third this weekend.
Spurs are one of the form sides in the top flight right now as they have not lost in nine Premier League matches.
Their 1-0 win at West Bromwich Albion last time out showed what a good team they are this campaign. In the last couple of years, they might have drawn that one 0-0 and been frustrated they didn’t manage all three points.
However, in the Spurs squad now, they have a number of players capable of producing that bit of magic in front of goal and Gareth Bale did just that on Sunday, scoring his second screamer in a week.
The Welshman will be the key man once again and after putting in a superb performance for Wales on Wednesday evening, comes into this one with even more confidence. He is a 6/1 shot to break the deadlock.
As Tottenham are on home soil, Andre Villas-Boas is sure to expect his men to attack right from the off. They were 5-0 winners of this game last season, but a lot has changed at both clubs since then. Unsurprisingly, Spurs are the 4/6 favourites to come out on top.
As for Newcastle, they come into this one in good spirits after notching up back-to-back wins for the first time this campaign. Their 3-2 triumph over Chelsea last weekend was the kind of result that Alan Pardew needed to bring the feel good factor back to St James’ Park.
The Magpies have now moved six points clear of the bottom three as well, which is a healthy gap to have, but Pardew knows they are far from out of the fight to stay in the league.
A big performance is needed to get anything from White Hart Lane on Saturday and if the big name players for Newcastle perform, there is no reason why they cannot get a result.
Yohan Cabaye has been in superb form in recent weeks and he must get on the ball as much as possible. The Frenchman is capable of making a lot of things happen on the pitch and along with Moussa Sissoko – who has impressed massively in his two games so far – could help Newcastle get a result here.
At the moment, they are at 9/2 to win.
It does look set to be an enthralling 90 minutes between two sides that love to play attacking football.
Entertainment looks all but guaranteed in this one and it should set the tone for another cracking weekend.
