How high might Newcastle’s ceiling be? Victory at third-placed Tottenham lifted them into the Premier League’s top four. With winnable fixtures against Aston Villa and Southampton before a pre-World Cup showdown with Chelsea, Newcastle can be solidly in the Champions League shakeup when they head off for that Saudi winter training camp taken for “football reasons”. What a difference a change of...
Antonio Conte has suggested the length of his contract at Tottenham is not relevant to how long he will stay as he dismissed links to Juventus as “disrespectful” and sought to focus on Saturday’s derby at Arsenal. The manager has been touted by the Italian media to return to Juventus at the end of the season and the story rumbled for much of the international break. Conte’s old club have...
And that starts with Tottenham‘s visit to Anfield tonight, a side that finds themselves two points adrift of Arsenal in fourth position in the table – meaning they have plenty to fight for.

With Man City to host Newcastle on Sunday evening, Liverpool have an opportunity to put...

Tottenham endured one of the most embarrassing nights in their history as they were beaten 2-1 by the lowest-ranked team in the Europa Conference League, going down 2-1 to NS Mura in Maribor. New boss Antonio Conte will have watched on with horror as his side lost at the death to a team with a UEFA coefficient ranking of 341. Even though they were reduced to 10 men just after the half-hour when...
The Spurs are believed to be in negotiations to sign Pau Torres, who is a target for Manchester United. As part of the deal, Giovani Lo Celso, who spent the second half of last season on loan with the Yellow Submarine, would reportedly go the other way.
