Tottenham supporters will become Newcastle fans on Sunday as they hope the Toon Army can do them a favour and avoid defeat against Arsenal.

Spurs know if they beat Sunderland at home and the Gunners fail to win away at Newcastle, they will overtake their North London rivals and claim the last spot in the top four.

And while Arsenal have been in relentless form of late, recent history may give Spurs cause for hope.

In their last ten league fixtures at Newcastle, Arsenal have won three, drawn six and lost one.
