We are finally in the second half of the Premier League season with a great battle in the Champions League zone while Liverpool pulls ahead. However, we look a little bit more to the middle of the board for a clash between Tottenham and Newcastle, two teams aspiring for more.
The Spurs come from another hit, drawing 2-2 with the relegation-threatened Wolverhampton, meaning they have three games without a win and a single victory in the last five.
The Magpies, on the contrary, are on the rise, winning three games in a row, the last against Aston Villa, before their game today vs. Manchester United.
This is quite an interesting clash, but we must point out that one of the teams is suffering from a big injury list, and that could be a factor that gives the other an edge.
