Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur Matchday Stats Preview

Newcastle won this exact fixture 6-1 last season, last winning consecutive home league games against Spurs between April 2006 and December 2008 (a run of four).

Tottenham have scored at least once in each of their last 17 Premier League away games against Newcastle, since a 4-0 loss in December 2003. It’s their longest scoring streak away against an opponent in their league history.

Following a run of six defeats in seven games, Newcastle have lost just two of their last 10 in the Premier League (W5 D3). The Magpies are looking to win consecutive league games for the first time since December following their 1-0 win at Fulham last time out.

Along with opponents Spurs, Newcastle are one of just two teams to have scored in 100% of their Premier League home games this season. Their current run of scoring in 16 consecutive Premier League home games is their longest since a run of 18 between September 2002 and August 2003.

Having won four of their first six Premier League away games this season (D2), Tottenham have won just two of their subsequent nine on the road (D4 L3).

Newcastle are averaging 1.7 goals conceded per game in the Premier League this season, compared to 0.9 last term. Despite this, only Arsenal (14) have kept more clean sheets than the Magpies in 2023-24 (9).

With 65 goals scored and 52 goals conceded, Newcastle’s Premier League games have seen more goals than any other side’s this season (117). With 65 scored and 45 conceded, Tottenham rank joint-fourth for this (110).

Tottenham have benefitted from more own goals than any other side in the Premier League this season (5). Only in 2021-22 (6) have they ever benefitted from more in a single campaign.

Alexander Isak has scored in each of his last five Premier League home games, netting six goals in total in this run. The last Newcastle player to score in more consecutively at St James’ Park was Alan Shearer, who scored in each of his first 15 at home for the club in the 1996-97 campaign.

Son Heung-Min has been involved in 24 goals in his last 25 Premier League appearances, scoring 15 and assisting nine. One more assist would see him become just the sixth player to register double figures for both goals and assists in three separate Premier League campaigns (also 2019-20 and 2020-21), after Wayne Rooney (5), Mohamed Salah (4), Frank Lampard (4), Eric Cantona (4) and Didier Drogba (3).
