Tottenham Hotspur hosts Newcastle United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the upcoming midweek EPL match.
Tottenham Hotspur is struggling at the moment. The North London club recently suffered a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Manchester United, which also saw their captain, Cristian Romero, sent off.
Currently sitting in 15th place with only 29 points, Spurs aim to change their fortunes when Newcastle United, another team facing difficulties, arrives at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Newcastle are 4 points ahead of Spurs, positioned 12th in the league after their recent loss to Brentford.
With the match just a day away, here’s a detailed look at the referee for this important midweek EPL fixture. Anthony Taylor will officiate, with Gary Beswick and Adam Nunn as assistant referees. The fourth official will be Gavin Ward, while Nick Hopton will oversee VAR, joined by Stuart Attwell.
Tottenham has a good win rate in matches officiated by Anthony Taylor
Tottenham has played 49 games with Anthony Taylor as the referee, winning 25 of them. They have drawn 6 matches and lost 18, giving them a win rate of 51%.
Taylor has issued 85 yellow cards during these matches, averaging 1.73 per game. The number of red cards given could be a concern for Spurs, with three red cards shown in games officiated by Taylor.
With this in mind, Tottenham will look to overcome their recent poor performance while aiming to capitalize on Newcastle’s struggles when they meet at home on Tuesday.
