Tottenham Hotspur's season is in danger of unravelling and they face a tough task getting back on track away to Newcastle United in the Premier League.
Spurs crashed 2-1 at home to Fulham on Saturday night, bringing up a bet for Greg, and that was their third defeat inside a week after shipping nine goals in losses to Arsenal and PSG.
Thomas Frank made a great start after taking the reins from Ange Postecoglou but the Dane now faces the first major slump of his reign.
Tottenham still sit above Newcastle in the Premier League table but it's now only by goal difference after the Magpies crushed Everton 4-1 at the weekend.
That thumping win ended their long wait for a victory on the road and Eddie Howe's men are now back on home soil.
They've been much more impressive at St James' Park, winning their last six at home, so Newcastle will be confident of piling on the pain for Frank and Spurs.
How the bookies view it: Home comforts
With Newcastle boasting an impressive home record, it's no big surprise to see them as odds-on favourites at a best 5/6 with Betway. Tottenham are 16/5 with most firms and the draw pays 29/10 at BetMGM.
Recent head to head: Magpies to the four
The Magpies have dominated this fixture of late, winning the last four meetings. Spurs have also lost on their last four visits to St James' Park, including 4-0 and 6-1 drubbings.
Players to watch: Woltemade to measure
Nick Woltemade scored when Newcastle beat Spurs 2-0 at St James' Park in the EFL Cup earlier this season and will fancy his chances again. The German gives gaffer Howe a focal point up front and he's 13/10 at Paddy Power for anytime scorer.
Richarlison has found a bit of form for Spurs and heads into this game on a high after scoring three goals in his last four appearances. The Brazilian is 13/5 at Paddy Power to keep his hot streak going.

Probable line-ups
Newcastle still have injury issues, with Yoane Wissa, Emil Kraft, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman and Will Osula set to miss out again. Keeper Nick Pope is a doubt after missing out on Saturday.
Tottenham remain without Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke, Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma and Kata Takai.
Newcastle United: Ramsdale, Livramento, Schar, Thiaw, Hall, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Barnes, Gordon, Woltemade.
Tottenham Hotspur: Vicario, Porro, Van de Ven, Romero, Udogie, Palhinha, Gray, Simons, Richarlison, Kudus, Kolo-Muani.
Anything else catch the eye?
Newcastle are a different team at St James' Park and with their strong record in this fixture it's hard to look past another home win. Adding on over 1.5 goals boosts their odds to 21/20 at Bet365.
Howe's side won 7-2 on the corner count in that League Cup win over Spurs earlier this season so Newcastle -2 in the corner handicap also looks worth a punt at 13/10 with BetVictor.
We could see some cards in the midfield battle ground and Bruno Guimaraes is 14/5 at Ladbrokes to go into the book for a fifth time this season.
