Contending squad Tottenham Hotspur FC (6-1-8, 26 points) is scheduled to host bottom-three team Newcastle United FC (3-8-4, 13 points) at their home field of White Hart Lane on December 13, Sunday as the 2015-2016 Premier League season moves forward.
The Spurs extended their unbeaten run to 14 games after a 1-1 tie with West Brom last Saturday on the road at the Hawthorns, as reported by Sky Sports.
Tottenham's 19-year old midfielder Dele Alli netted the opening goal at the 15th-minute mark of the game, but West Brom midfielder James McClean was able to level it immediately 14 minutes later.
It was an exchange of attacks and counterattacks from both squads until the final whistle, but no side was able to score another goal to claim the three points.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United shocked a Jürgen Klopp-led Liverpool XI, 2-0, last Sunday at the St. James' Park to win its second game in the team's last four outings, as per BBC Sport.
Scoring opened with an own goal by Reds defender Martin Skrtel at the 69th minute before an injury time strike from midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum sealed the game for Steve McClaren's side.
Newcastle is now tied on points with Norwich City and Bournemouth, but the team remained in the bottom three by virtue of a lower goal differential of -14 as compared to the Canaries' -10 and the Cherries' -12.
The prediction is Tottenham Hotspur over Newcastle United, 3-1. The Spurs continue their undefeated streak against the hapless Magpies.
Tottenham Hotspur starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Lloris; Alderweireld, Walker Rose, Vertonghen; Lamela, Eriksen; Dier, Alli, Dembélé; Kane
