What was looking like a disaster on Wednesday evening actually ended up perfectly ok for Tottenham. They were 1-0 down to Watford and a third straight defeat looked on the cards. Then they fought back to win 2-1 and returned to their dressing room to discover Chelsea had lost and Liverpool failed to win. That leaves them seven points off the top spot and seven ahead of fifth place. The return of Son did the job for Spurs and Fernando Llorente even managed to score at the right end. This is the first game of the Premier League weekend and victory over Newcastle would take them to within four points of Liverpool and ten clear of fifth place Chelsea. They may still be without Harry Kane and Dele Alli but they have won their last two league games.

It promised to be a dismal week for Newcastle but they have managed to get hold of a new player and amazingly beat Manchester City 2-1 at home on Tuesday. They start the weekend in 14th place and five points above the relegaton zone. That was their second league win in a row, though the home win over Cardiff City was more expected. United have only won two away league games this season and they were at Burnley and Huddersfield. This will be a lot harder and the tip is for a Tottenham win.
