After six defeats in a month for the first time since 1930, Ruben Amorim is increasingly aware of how much trouble his side may be in

Tottenham Hotspur need a win at home to Newcastle United on Saturday to take some pressure off of manager Ange Postecoglou as 2025 gets underway in London. Spurs drew with Wolverhampton Wanderers in their final English Premier League game of 2024 while the Magpies saw off Manchester United.

There are some huge games at the top and bottom of the Premier League this weekend and none more significant than at Anfield. Leaders Liverpool may have seen their lead at the top reduced to three points by the time they kick-off against Manchester United should Arsenal win at Brighton on Saturday evening.

Manchester City are hoping to start the new year with a victory at the Etihad against West Ham United. After failing to find a win in their last five matches, Manchester City finally collected three points to close out 2024.

The match is scheduled to start at 3 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on USA Network and NBC Universo. Fans looking to watch can do so through FuboTV, which offers a free trial and $30 off your first month, or DirecTV Stream, which also offers a free trial. SlingTV doesn’t offer a free trial but does have other promotional offers available.

Both teams come in on completely different trajectories. Newcastle United have found the form that got them back to the Champions League two seasons ago under Eddie Howe. Winners of their last four in all competitions, the Magpies have scored at least three goals in each game moving up to fifth in the table.

With just one win from their last five games in the English Premier League, Tottenham are in real need of a win as they take on a Newcastle United team that are shaping up as genuine top-four contenders.
