Conte has called on his side to treat each of the final nine league matches as cup finals. Antonio Conte’s side have their full focus on a top-four spot in the Premier League, though they cannot afford slip-ups as they look to close the gap to Arsenal above them. The Gunners, who are in action on Monday night against Crystal Palace, go into the weekend three points clear of Spurs, who have played a game more.

Live updates as Newcastle travel to North London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur will host Newcastle on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League, so we simulated the match to get a score prediction ahead of the clash.

Spurs had a glorious opportunity to find an equaliser in the final few minutes of the game when Eric Dier rose highest to meet a corner into the box, but his header skimmed the outside of the post, much to the pleasure of the flat-footed Dubravka. Newcastle defended well to hold on to their lead, leaving the capital with all three points. Chris Wood then came close to doubling the Magpies' lead when he leaped highest to reach Saint-Maximin's cross into the box, but his header was straight at the 'keeper. Newcastle took control after finding the opener and pushed on for a second, but Lloris was in top form to deny Newcastle another. As both sides came out for the second half, Newcastle introduced Miguel Almiron in place of Jacob Murphy. The Paraguayan international came close just minutes after his introduction as he surged into box, but his strike was weak and into the palms of Hugo Lloris. The substitute got another opportunity with 30 minutes remaining, and he found the net with a thunderous strike. We then selected the teams and watched the match play out by itself, to give us a score prediction.

A win for Spurs against Newcastle on Sunday could potentially see them overtake Arsenal into fourth on goal difference, with the Gunners playing on Monday night.

This was the sort of different sort of Tottenham Hotspur, snarling, confrontational and aggressive, sometimes even a little bit nasty.

Tottenham will be out to give their European prospects a shot in the arm when they welcome a crusading Newcastle United to face them at Tottenham Hotspur ...

Harry Kane was in good form for England and will look to continue his solid run in front of goal, while a clutch of other key players can all help him make the difference going forward.

Antonio Conte's Spurs side look to be secure in a continental finish, but quite where they will end up remains up for grabs - and a win against Eddie Howe's Magpies, themselves enjoying something of a new year revival still, will only boost their hopes.

Jonjo Shelvey and Fabian Schar return to the Newcastle squad, but there's no place in the starting XI for Bruno Guimaraes after a tiring international break. Bentancur has time on his left, edge of the area, it deflects high for a corner. Allan Saint-Maximin involved already, having won a free kick on the left that came to nothing. Saint-Maximin is back in the action and the ball comes to him straight away. It could feel chilly by the time kick off comes around. Another period of Spurs pressure sees a Kane shot hooked wide of the post inside a crowded penalty area. 15th min: It's very much one way traffic, with Spurs seeing the lion's share of possession so far. Schar stands of the ball and powers it through the wall. It's scrappy in the Spurs box as they don't get it away and Willock looks to have wriggled through on goal briefly, but Romero is across to block the midfielder's shot. Kane manages to hold it up and Spurs get going. Two away losses in quick succession are an ominous sign ahead of their trip to London, now sitting nine points above the drop. This time Emerson Royal came inside, and Kulusevski is given space to cross.

Spurs secured a big three points in the race for fourth with a comfortable victory over Newcastle, strengthening their goal difference in a 5-1 thrashing.

The game was then put to bed in the 63rd minute when Emerson Royal scored his first goal for the club. A neat one-two from Doherty and Kulusevski had freed space for the former to deliver the ball, and Emerson made no mistake from six yards. The Swedish squared it for Son who took a touch and fired home.

Newcastle, on the other hand, come into the game in 14th the following two slender defeats against Chelsea and Everton in their last two Premier League matches. Victorious before last month's international break with a 3-1 triumph over West Ham to make it two league wins on the spin, Antonio Conte's Spurs team need to ensure they maintain their good form in the top-four race. With Arsenal not in action until Monday evening when they travel across the capital to face Crystal Palace, Tottenham can draw level on points with their rivals in fourth and potentially leapfrog them if they win by three goals or more.
