Tottenham Hotspur looking to set new club goalscoring record versus Newcastle

Tottenham Hotspur can set a new club-record scoring feat when they travel to St James' Park to face Newcastle United on Sunday.

Spurs have scored in all of their previous 16 away trips to Newcastle, and by making it 17 here, they will set a new record of scoring in consecutive away matches against one opponent.

A run of 16 successive games where they scored away to Charlton Athletic between 1931 and 1999 equals the current record.

However, recent form suggests that Spurs may struggle to set that new record, having failed to win any of their last four away matches.

Cristian Stellini's side also face the prospect of coming up against the league's most formidable defence in the form of Newcastle, who have let in just 24 goals in 30 Premier League games this season.

Despite that though, the Magpies did ship three goals away to Aston Villa last weekend in a disappointing defeat which places even more importance on this match in the race for the top four.

Spurs will look towards Harry Kane for inspiration once again, and this has been a happy hunting ground for the England captain, having scored six goals at St James' Park in his career.
