David Seaman has made his prediction for Newcastle’s Premier League clash away to Tottenham this afternoon.

Newcastle are looking to pick up their first away win since the 8-0 victory against Sheffield United in September while Tottenham are looking for their first win after picking up just one point in their last five.

On his podcast Seaman Says, the former Arsenal man has predicted a narrow win for Tottenham to put them level on points with Manchester City and put a dent in Newcastle’s Champions League hopes.

Seaman thinks Newcastle will struggle again away from home

Newcastle are coming off the back of a poor 3-0 defeat to Everton, yet another disappointing display away from St James’ Park.

Of course there were injuries, tiredness in the squad and no one to really bring off the bench to impact the game, but that still doesn’t excuse the individual errors made in the match like Miguel Almiron’s poor finish in the first half.

Tottenham will be a tough place for Newcastle to visit given the intensity they like to play with and, while Spurs may have some big injuries themselves, they don’t have the added pressure of playing in Europe or any Carabao Cup fixtures.

Seaman hasn’t predicted a blow out victory for Spurs, but he does think Tottenham will have just too much quality at home to overcome Newcastle and leave them in a tricky position ahead of the AC Milan game.

On his podcast, Seaman simply said: “I’m going to go 2-1 Spurs.”

Newcastle are looking to replicate the last meeting between these two sides

It’s difficult to see Newcastle scoring five goals in the first 20 minutes again, but Eddie Howe will certainly be looking for his team to be playing with the same intensity and desire as they were in that unbelievable 6-1 win back in April.

At this point, given their poor record away from home, it’s safe to say that Newcastle would take any kind of scrappy victory in the capital this afternoon just to get back on track.

Seaman may have predicted a narrow win for Tottenham, but it’s a close game to call and one that you can see going either way, depending on which Newcastle team show up.
