Two Premier League teams heading in opposite directions renew hostilities on Saturday lunchtime, as Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United do battle in North London.
Ange Postecoglou's men failed to win any of their last three top-flight games in 2024, most recently being held to a 2-2 draw by Wolverhampton Wanderers to remain in the bottom half of the Premier League standings.
On the other hand, the Magpies made it five wins on the spin in all competitions with a 2-0 beating of Manchester United on December 30, moving to within touching distance of the Champions League spots in the process.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 171
Spurs wins: 74
Draws: 34
Newcastle wins: 63
From the first 15 meetings between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United - which coincidentally took place over a 15-year spell from 1905 to 1920 - the North London giants conquered their counterparts from the north on just one occasion.
However, Spurs now boast the overall bragging rights against the Magpies, winning 74 of their 171 competitive matches in all tournaments, in addition to suffering 63 defeats and playing out 34 draws.
The most recent meetings between the two top-flight stalwarts have seldom gone Tottenham's way, though, as they have been defeated in four of their last five Premier League head-to-heads, including at St James' Park in their first game of the 2024-25 season.
Harvey Barnes and Alexander Isak condemned Tottenham to a 2-1 defeat in that September encounter, although for Spurs, that was still an improvement on their heavy 4-0 loss in April 2024 and humiliating 6-1 slaughter at St James' Park under Cristian Stellini in 2023.
Tottenham's only triumph over Newcastle from their last five Premier League affairs was emphatic in its own right, though, as the Lilywhites crushed the Magpies 4-1 at home in December 2023, where Richarlison helped himself to a brace.
Goals are a guarantee when Tottenham and Newcastle square off in the top flight, as not a single one of their 59 Premier League meetings has finished 0-0, making it the most played match to never end goalless in the history of the competition.
Spurs and Newcastle's last battle outside of the Premier League was an EFL Cup quarter-final in 2014-15, which Spurs won 4-0, but the Magpies prevailed in their most high-profile knockout battle, a 1999 FA Cup semi-final where Alan Shearer netted twice in extra time.
Shearer is coincidentally the highest scorer in matches between Tottenham and Newcastle with 11 strikes against the Magpies, one more than Spurs legend Harry Kane managed in this fixture.
