Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Eddie Howe's pre-match press conference ahead of Newcastle United's Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

Newcastle make the trip to North London looking to bounce back from a disastrous defeat at the hands of Brentford at the weekend. The St James' Park reverse left the Magpies in 12th spot in the table.

There is a little bit of pressure on Eddie Howe after five games without a win, including bowing out of the Carabao Cup. The Newcastle boss held his hands up after the game in an extraordinarly frank exchange with journalists and will be asked about how he and the squad can turn around their fortunes.

Howe will also be asked about the club's latest injury situation and the issues at both ends of the pitch.
