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.

Tottenham Hotspur will be without 10 first-team players ahead of their League Cup semi-final first leg at home against Liverpool, manager Ange Postecoglou said on Tuesday, with the North London side aiming to end a 16-year trophy drought.

Liverpool have almost a fully fit squad from which to choose for Wednesday’s Carabao Cup semi-final against Tottenham. Both Ibrahima Konate and Conor Bradley returned from injuries suffered during the Champions League win over Real Madrid in November for Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United at Anfield.
