Match Preview Having suffered an alarming dip in form, with consecutive exits from both English cup competitions, Tottenham looked to get their season back on track against Watford after they came from behind late on to claim the three points . Mauricio Pochettino’s side have been robbed of their most talismanic player in the shape of Harry Kane through injury, but the return of Son from Asian Cup duty helped inspire them to victory. As wins go, it could prove to be one of their most important for the 2018-19 campaign too, after it lifted them within touching distance of Manchester City following the champions’ shock loss on Tuesday . With just two points separating the second-place City from Spurs, Pochettino can surely smell a chance to pile on the pressure and keep his side in an unlikely three-way title race. However, to do so they will have to overcome Newcastle, the very side responsible for inflicting that surprise defeat upon Pep Guardiola and company. Article continues below Rafa Benitez’s side have been embroiled in a relegation battle for most of the season but wins against fellow strugglers Cardiff and the Citizens has lifted them clear of the bottom three. The former Liverpool manager will know that it is far from a done deal however and, despite a myriad of injury problems plaguing the Magpies, will be hopeful of carrying across their positive momentum to deliver another upset.<doc-sep>When you subscribe we will use the information you provide to send you these newsletters.

The 58-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has so far resisted the club's efforts to persuade him to sign an extension as he waited for a demonstration of owner Mike Ashley's ambition. With Ashley having seemingly accepted that the club will not be sold in the short-term - and following the club-record £21million swoop for Miguel Almiron and the loan capture of Monaco full-back Antonio Barreca - Benitez has a decision to make. The Spaniard, who would offer no guarantees over his future as the January window entered its final few days, said: "I didn't say if we don't sign players, I will leave. I will not say now that because we have signed two players, I will sign.<doc-sep>The last time Tottenham Hotspur played Newcastle, it was the opening match of the season. There were three goals in a frantic opening 20 minutes, one from Jan Vertonghen, and one from Dele Alli who then proceeded to invent the Dele Cele which entertained and confused everyone for a week until everyone forgot about it. This time, the match is at Wembley Stadium, but Spurs are without Dele and Kane. Newcastle is also coming off of a huge win over Manchester City, and are hoping that momentum will earn them another big win today. Spurs haven’t been GREAT without Kane and Dele, but they’ve been good enough to eke out two last-ditch wins over mediocre opponent. Can they make it three? COYS!
