After a spirited performance against Manchester City and Newcastle’s heavy defeat to Norwich City, you’d think that Tottenham fans would be feeling confident going into the weekend.
While many Spurs supporters think their side will come away with three points, there are a number of fans on social media who aren’t so confident.
Judging by these reactions on Twitter in response to an official club tweet, it could be a nervous afternoon for some.

Read Newcastle verdict
While Tottenham have a reputation of being a little ‘Spursy’ at times, it’s hard to see why they would be so worried heading into Sunday’s game.
On paper, everything points towards a comfortable victory for the home side. Newcastle fans and Steve Bruce will hope that isn’t the case, but they may simply not have enough quality on the day.
Tottenham did the double over Newcastle last season, with a 2-1 win at St James’ Park and a narrow 1-0 victory at Wembley.
Both games were tight affairs and Newcastle will be looking to replicate that this time around. They’ll need a huge improvement defensively when compared to their performance at Carrow Road if they are to keep the scores down.
