Paul Merson has given his prediction for the upcoming clash between Newcastle United and Tottenham.
The Magpies are currently sitting in 4th place in the Premier League table following their 3 - 0 loss to Aston Villa last weekend. Spurs, meanwhile, are in 5th place, three points behind Eddie Howe's side.
The meeting of the two teams will take place on Sunday, April 23, 2023. Ahead of it, Merson has shared his thoughts, backing Newcastle to be the winners this time.
"This is a massive match. Both teams had absolute shockers last week," the pundit said on Sportskeeda.
"If Newcastle lose this game, alarm bells will start ringing - they need to raise their standards. Eddie Howe needs a big result and I think they'll pull it off against Tottenham this week," he added.
Paul Merson's prediction: Newcastle United 2 - 1 Tottenham
