Tottenham vs Newcastle prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out today?

The only way is up as far as Antonio Conte is concerned

Tottenham Hotspur take on Newcastle United today as the Premier League returns after the international break.

Newcastle suffered a disappointed defeat to Everton last time out but remain nine points clear of trouble despite a recent downturn in form.

They face a stiff test travelling to north London where Spurs are chasing hard to finish in the top four. Back-to-back wins over Brighton and West Ham have left Antonio Conte’s men three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, having played one game more, so they can ill-afford any mistakes.

Here is everything you need to know.

Tottenham vs Newcastle kicks off today, Sunday 3 April, at 4.30pm BST.

Tottenham vs Newcastle will be shown live on Sky Sports Main Event and Premier League channels. Customers can stream online via the Sky Sports app and website.

Antonio Conte revealed that injured duo Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon will be fit to return to first-team training next week, while Ben Davies is fine despite cutting his time with Wales short during the international break.

“Good news for Skippy and Sessegnon, they are very close to being back with the team,” he said. “They are improving a lot, they are having important training sessions, not with the team, but I hope next week to have both players with the team.”

Eddie Howe hopes to have keeper Martin Dubravka and defender Fabian Schar, who pulled out of international duty through injury and illness respectively, as well as midfielder Jonjo Shelvey available, although Covid-19 has hit his squad and staff once again.
