Tottenham Hotspur visits Newcastle United in a matchup of two sides meeting on very even, level ground, but heading in opposite directions. Tottenham are in free fall right now, winless in their past four, and six of the past seven. So after a hot start, a decline has now set in. Newcastle aren’t exactly on an escalator up right now, this much is true, but they’re in a better place now than they were in August and September. .
