Krul Intentions
Newcastle's goalkeeper will hope to repeat his scintillating performance from this fixture last season when the Toon Army won 1-0.
Spurs fans won’t be getting carried away with their 5-1 victory in the Europa League on Thursday because things have not been going so well domestically. One win in six top flight outings is a big concern.
Erik Lamela may have dazzled with his rabona the other night, but the £30m signing is still yet to score in the Premier League. He is certainly not the only one struggling to find the net given that Tottenham have drawn a blank in two of their last three at the Lane.
Visitors Newcastle won this fixture 1-0 last term largely thanks to a man-of-the-match performance by keeper Tim Krul. He will be looking to repeat his heroics and keep the Toon’s mini revival going on Sunday. However, a concern for Alan Pardew is that Papiss Cisse is a doubt for this one.
All things considered the smart move here seems to be backing under 2.5 goals in the match at best odds of 11/10 with Betfred. That would have been a winning wager in 3 of Tottenham’s last 4 outings in the league.
