Two sides stuck together in the Premier League standings meet on Tuesday night as Newcastle host Tottenham at St James' Park. Both clubs sit mid-table only separated by goal difference, though their momentum could not be more different. Newcastle arrive buoyed by a commanding 4-1 win over Everton, while Spurs continue to drift after a 2-1 home defeat to Fulham. The win on Merseyside snapped a six-match away drought for Eddie Howe's side, with Malick Thiaw scoring inside one minute and later adding another.

Liverpool's season has been a rollercoaster. Arne Slot's men were staring down the barrel of a fifth straight Premier League defeat-a run that would have been unprecedented in the club's modern era-before Mohamed Salah's landmark 250th goal and Ryan Gravenberch's deflected strike secured a morale-boosting win over Aston Villa. That result eased pressure on Slot and restored some confidence ahead of this European showdown.
