• Spurs are 15th after their 2-0 loss at Manchester United

• Newcastle are down to 12th after three straight losses

• Recommended bet: Tottenham to win

Thomas Frank and Eddie Howe head into battle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium under the most suffocating pressure.

Frank continues to feel the heat after Spurs were beaten 2-0 at Manchester United on Saturday, a result that leaves his team nearer the bottom three than top six.

Howe has been forced to defend his record with his out-of-form Magpies plunging into the bottom half on a three-match losing run.

Team news

Tottenham's Cristian Romero is suspended after his red card in Saturday's 2-0 loss at Man United.

Frank will be unable to call upon the services of James Maddison, Kevin Danso, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus and Richarlison and Destiny Udogie due to injury; however, Djed Spence is fit again.

Fabian Schar, Tino Livramento, Emil Krafth and Joelinton remain in the treatment room for the Toon. Lewis Miley and Anthony Gordon both face fitness tests.

The stats

Spurs were on a four-game unbeaten run prior to their weekend 2-0 defeat at Manchester United.

United have lost three in a row, culminating in Saturday's dismal 3-2 home defeat by Brentford.

There has not been a 0-0 draw between these sides in Premier League history.

Spurs have been shown more cards, 63 yellow, three red, than any other side in the top flight.

Newcastle average 6.7 corners per game, the most in this season's Premier League.

Prediction

Frank has belatedly made tweaks to his team which appeared to be paying off prior to the weekend, and Saturday's 2-0 loss at Manchester United should not derail the Dane.

Romero's early red card changed the game at Old Trafford completely and anyway, Man United are going seriously well under Michael Carrick.

Before that, though, Frank had changed the shape of his side and been rewarded with a couple of impressive Champions League successes and a noteworthy 2-2 draw at home to Manchester City.

Injuries continue to bite but Tottenham have definitely perked up since the horror home loss to West Ham and are worth trusting.

Newcastle are travelling with confidence through the floor and even the return of Bruno Guimaraes from injury could not stop them crashing to a dire 3-2 home loss to Brentford, for which they were booed off St James' Park.

Howe is under pressure and being asked questions about his future and they really do struggle away from home with eight defeats and just two wins in their last 13 road trips.

They have conceded seven goals on their last two away days and Tottenham should fancy they can carve out a win here.
