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.

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:
