Premier League: Charlie Nicholas makes prediction for Newcastle vs Tottenham

Tottenham are preparing to face Newcastle in an away Premier League game on Wednesday, July 15. Ahead of the game, Sky Sports football expert Charlie Nicholas has made his prediction. "It was a great result for Tottenham, I am not denying them that. They may not have deserved it, but it was certainly not a masterclass. Arsenal got slack and let them off the hook," wrote Nicholas. "Tottenham are just trying to get through it at the minute. There is no rhythm or fluency. At the back Jose Mourinho has chopped and changed it. Toby Alderweireld comes in like I said and he scores the winner against us! "Their shape is questionable though and looking at the formation, is he going to get the shape he wants with these players? Lucas Moura will not fit into it, nor will Heung-Min Son, and Harry Kane seems to find it difficult too. Giovani Lo Celso has looked decent but defensively Spurs are a long way off. "Newcastle have run out of legs a little bit. They lost to Watford after going ahead and giving two penalties away. Newcastle are still going to be awkward for Tottenham, who will look to stay in the mix for Europe. "Jose was brought in to make the Champions League, and this team has a lot to do still. There are issues at Spurs, there's tension and a lack of positivity and for that reason I see Newcastle earning a point." Charlie Nicholas score prediction: 1-1 source - Sky Sports
