READY AND STABLE

Toon a real four-ce now roars Eddie

- SIMON BIRD

EDDIE HOWE believes Newcastle's "rare stability" has put them on course to pinch Tottenham's top-four place.

The Toon boss says tomorrow's clash with rivals Spurs is his side's biggest game of the season.

Despite being fifth Tottenham are in turmoil. They don't have a head coach, director of football Fabio Paratici resigned yesterday - and star striker Harry Kane's future at the club is in doubt. 

Howe has backed his players to bounce back from their heaviest defeat of the season against Aston Villa last Saturday and finish their top-four quest.
