NEWCASTLE: Having been the Premier League’s plucky underdogs for much of the top flight campaign this season, it finally feels like Newcastle really have something to lose.
Victory over fifth-place Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday would see fourth-place United leap six points clear of their closest rivals for a Champions League spot, as the battle for a top-four finish heats up. A win for Spurs at St. James’ Park, on the other hand, would put them right back in the mix, trailing Newcastle only on goal difference, though they have played a game more.
