Newcastle have won four of their six Premier League matches at St. James’'Park
Spurs without a win in four games in all competitions, conceding 13 goals
Recommended bet: Newcastle Utd to win
Newcastle play host to Tottenham on Tuesday evening, with the Magpies on a high after becoming only the second team to defeat Everton at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium home.
The visitors, meanwhile, have won just one in seven in all competitions and have shipped 15 goals across a four-match winless run in recent weeks.

Team news
It will be interesting to see whether Nick Pope returns to Eddie Howe's starting line-up after missing Saturday's meeting 4-1 win at Everton.
The England international goalkeeper was reported to have been struggling with a groin injury, but an error-strewn performance against Marseille may have contributed to his omission.
Kieran Trippier is unable to face his former side due to a hamstring strain, while Yoane Wissa and William Osula also remain sidelined.
After recording a goal and an assist against the Toffees, Lewis Miley could make just his third league start of the season.
Spurs boss Thomas Frank will be thankful to have Cristian Romero back available following the Argentinian's suspension, although the Dane is still without an extensive list of first-team stars.
Long-term absentees James Maddison, Radu Dragușin, Dejan Kulusevski, Kota Takai, and Yves Bissouma continue their rehabilitations, while crocked striker Dominic Solanke is not quite fit enough to return.
The stats
Incredibly, Newcastle only registered their first league away win of the season this past Saturday evening, thumping Everton 4-1 at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Despite keeping clean sheets in four of their opening five league fixtures, Howe’s men have only managed one shut-out – in a 2-0 victory over a Nottingham Forest outfit led by doomed boss Ange Postecoglou – since then.
The Lilywhites have performed far better on the road than at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, acquiring 13 of their 18 points at away venues.
However, Spurs have registered just one win in their last seven outings across all competitions, with that sequence starting with October's 2-0 EFL Cup defeat at St. James' Park.

Prediction
Despite continuing to deliver a somewhat inconsistent run of results, it seems as if Newcastle may just be turning a corner.
The Magpies have now won two on the bounce following impressive displays against Man City and Everton, although did lose their first continental fixture since September last Tuesday evening.
For the first time since taking over the Spurs reins in the summer, Frank is beginning to face real scrutiny as his side continue to slide down the table.
After occupying a top-four place during the season's opening exchanges, the North Londoners find themselves just one position above Newcastle thanks to their slightly superior goal difference.
Furthermore, history suggests a home win is likely.
Newcastle have triumphed in six of their last seven meetings with Tuesday's opponents, while Spurs have won just one of their 13 most recent midweek Premier League fixtures.
