Fixture Focus - Spurs (12 Feb 2014)

Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur 

The midweek fixture will see us travelling up to the northeast to St James’ Park, stronghold of the Toon Army. Spurs have never won there for almost a decade. 

The players available to Sherwood would be similar to the game against Everton, with Sandro, Lamela and Chiriches  being the only long term first teamers not on the team bus. Adebayor could continue with his goal scoring form, and we hope to see a partnership with Soldado up front. 

Newcastle has been dreary lately with only 1 win out of the past 7 games. Pardew also faced a long list of unavailable players with Tiote, Colocccini, Debuchy and Remy out, but he could call on the services of Cisse, Gouffran and Obertan who just returned from injuries. 

A team that needed to get out from a winless rut versus a team that needed to continue chasing the top 4. Who will prevail? 

COYS!
