The fight for Champions League places sees Spurs head to Newcastle
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.
