Newcastle

The 16th round of the Premier League will come to a close on Sunday with a football match between Tottenham and Newcastle United. After losing 2-1 to West Ham in their local rivalry game, Tottenham is determined to end their five-game streak without a win in the national league. Brazil’s Richarlison, who has recovered from injury, is vying for a spot in the starting lineup. However, Rodrigo Bentancur, Eric Dier, James Maddison, Micky van de Ven, and Ivan Perisic will still be sidelined due to injuries. Son Heung-min is expected to play despite getting injured in the London derby.

The Magpies are facing injuries to several players including Barnes, Botman, Targett, Burn, Murphy, Wilson, Longstaff, Willock, and Pope. Due to their struggles away from home, it is likely that a home win should be expected. In their recent match against Everton on Thursday, Eddie Howe’s team struggled defensively, resulting in a 3-0 loss.

The game is scheduled for October 12, 2023 at 5:30 PM.

Prediction:
2-1

Player in focus (Heung-min Son):

Heung-min Son

Son Heung-Min has become a top Asian soccer player over time. He is a regular member of Tottenham Hotspur’s first team and played a crucial part in Mauro Pochettino’s squad during the 2017/2018 Premier League season. He scored 12 goals and made 37 appearances.

The renowned South Korean soccer player, known for his agility and strong shooting, was born in Chuncheo on July 8, 1992. He started his early career at FC Seoul and later transferred to Hamburger SV in 2008. Two years later, he made his debut for the Bundesliga team. In 2013, he joined Bayer Leverkusen and scored a total of 21 goals in 62 games for the German club.

In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.

Highlighted Team (Newcastle):

Newcastle

Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier. The Magpies will host their rivals at their St. James’ Park in the 2016/2017 Championship campaign and it has to be noted that the capacity of the stadium is 52,354.

In the past, Newcastle United has been successful in winning four national championships (1904/1905, 1906/1907, 1908/1909, 1926/1927) and six FA Cup titles (1910, 1924, 1932, 1951, 1952, 1955). Many notable players have played for the team at St. James’ Park.

David Ginola, Michael Owen, Alan Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Nolberto Solano, Gary Speed, Obafemi Martins and Kevin Nolan are notable footballers who are still remembered at the club. Newcastle’s fiercest rivals are Sunderland and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals face each other in the Tyne-Wear derby. The color of Newcastle’s home kit is black and white.
