Newcastle vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League score and updates after Isak, Murphy and Joelinton goals

The fight for Champions League places sees Spurs head to Newcastle

(PA)

Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.

In the battle for the top four and a Champions League spot for next term, this fixture could prove pivotal with the teams fourth and fifth respectively ahead of kick-off. Barring an absolute drubbing for the hosts that’s how they’ll finish the day too, but Spurs will want to make up ground with a win given the Magpies have a game in hand still.

Defeat last time out for Eddie Howe’s side came in the shape of a surprise 3-0 beating at Aston Villa, while Spurs again showed their fragility with a 3-2 home loss to Bournemouth.

We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:

Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham had a huge chance to close the gap to Newcastle last week, but were beaten 3-2 at home by Bournemouth. Spurs cannot seem to get out of their own this term, and interim boss Cristian Stellini needs to rally his team for the biggest game of the campaign. The mood surrounding the club is at a low ebb indeed, with Davinson Sanchez booed off by sections of his own fans last week. Despite all their troubles, a win for Tottenham would move them level with Newcastle in the final Champions League place.

Newcastle have a huge chance today to shore up their credentials for a Champions League place next season. The Magpies have been outstanding over the course of the campaign, but put in arguably their worst performance in a 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa last time out. Eddie Howe's men still lead Tottenham by three points in fourth place, and can extend the gap to six points with only six games remaining in the term. The contest could be season-defining for both teams.
