    Tottenham have gone six league games without a home win (D2 L4) for the first time since October 2008 (D3 L5).

    The average age of Tottenham's starting line-up was 23 years and 336 days, their youngest starting XI for a Premier League game since March 2015 (23 years and 290 days v QPR).

    Since the start of the 2023-24 season, Dominic Solanke has scored more goals in the opening five minutes of Premier League games than any other player (4), while only Erling Haaland (14) has scored the opening goal in more games than Solanke in that time (11).

  7. 'It wasn't like he was bed-ridden' - Postecoglou on Maddison's darts trip

    Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has said he has "no problem" with James Maddison after the playmaker spent Sunday night watching World Championship darts despite reporting ill for the Wolves game earlier in the day.

    Maddison received criticism on social media after being pictured with Spurs team-mate Brennan Johnson at Alexandra Palace.

    The 28-year-old had come on as a substitute in the 64th minute of the 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Postecoglou's side dropped to 12th in the table going into Saturday's Premier League game against Newcastle.

    "I've got no problem with that," Postecoglou said when asked about Maddison being at the darts.

    "I've got no problem with the players having lives. It's a lot different trying to play a game of football and living a life. I don't see any problem with that and I don't think it hurt him.

    "He wasn't 100% and it was a game where we needed someone to be 100%. He was still well enough to play so it wasn't like he was bed-ridden.

    "If he was bed-ridden, didn't turn up to the game and then still went to the darts, there may be an issue there. But I had no issue with that."

  9. Sutton's predictions: Tottenham v Newcastle

    Chris Sutton and The Zutons

    Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.

    For week 20, he takes on The Zutons frontman Dave McCabe, who s Liverpool.

    Sutton's prediction: 1-2

    Newcastle's form is incredible, with five wins on the spin in all competitions. They have scored 16 goals in those games, with only one conceded.

    Tottenham, in contrast, are on a poor run of results - although they did not perform badly in their defeat by Nottingham Forest or in their draw with Wolves last time out.

    This is going to be a great game and, while I think Spurs will score, I just can't go against Newcastle at the moment.

    Eddie Howe's side have got goals in them and it is not just Alexander Isak who is a threat - Jacob Murphy is playing really well and their midfield of Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton looks very strong.

    McCabe's prediction: 1-2

    Newcastle are too good for Tottenham. The way Spurs are under Ange Postecoglou, even if they turn up and play well, they might score four goals but then the other team would score five. I don't think he is a bad manager but you would need to have Virgil van Dijk and Marcel Desailly at the back for his approach to work.
