Newcastle Form & Balance Check
Newcastle are unbeaten in their last five games and currently sit 6th in the Premier League. They have one draw and one win in their league games so far. In their last EFL Cup game, Newcastle came out on top against Nottingham Forest on penalties after a 1-1 draw.
Newcastle took the lead as early as the 1st minute with a goal from Willock. Little happened in the first half after that, but Nottingham Forest equalized in the 50th minute through Jota Silva. Newcastle struggled in the game and lacked the penetration to be more dangerous in front of goal. The game went to a penalty shoot-out, which Newcastle eventually won
Lack of personnel
Coach Eddie Howe faces a long list of injured and unavailable players at Newcastle, making his job considerably more difficult. Despite the difficult situation, Newcastle are doing well overall, but the absence of these players is having an impact both in training and in the squad at the weekend.
Among the injured players are Fabian Schär, who is out through suspension, Callum Wilson with a back injury, Joe Willock, who is missing due to a thigh problem, and Lewis Miley with a broken metatarsal. Sven Botman, who had to undergo cruciate ligament surgery, and Jamaal Lascelles, who is suffering from a cruciate ligament injury, are also unavailable. These numerous absences represent a major challenge for Howe and will have a major impact on the team

Tottenham are also unbeaten in the league so far, with one draw and one win. In their last game, they celebrated an impressive victory against Everton. Tottenham presented themselves as an offensive bulwark and dominated the game with impressive possession: they already had 75% possession in the first half and barely allowed Everton to develop.
Bissouma made it 1:0 for Tottenham in the 19th minute. Son Heung-min followed up just six minutes later to make it 2:0. The game settled down a little after half-time, but Tottenham remained dominant. Romero made it 3-0 with a goal in the 71st minute, with the assist coming from Maddison. Van de Ven then set up Son Heung-min again, who completed his brace to make it 4:0
New season, new goals
Last season Tottenham only managed 5th place, which is why they are playing in the Europa League this season. The Champions League place was only two points away, which Aston Villa occupied. Tottenham are among the Europa League title contenders for the coming season and a win in this competition would certainly bring great joy to the fans. Success in the Europa League would not only bring back a coveted trophy, but also underline Spurs’ expectations and ambitions.

Tottenham’s formation remains unchanged and there are no changes to the squad
