Two sides that entered the season with high expectations but have so far fallen way short, with a current look at the table revealing Tottenham currently 12th and Newcastle 13th.
Given the unpredictable nature of the league this year, you'd have expected both to be higher in the standings, but ahead of the game at St James', it's Thomas Frank who is under increasing pressure just months into his post at the club.

Last weekend's North London debacle was one thing, but ANOTHER home defeat on Saturday against Fulham - where Tottenham were two goals down inside six minutes - has started to turn the tide against the Danish gaffer.
They can ill afford another comprehensive defeat on Tyneside, but will be mindful that their best performances have come away from North London this season.
Unfortunately, they'll face a Newcastle side who finally cured their away-day issues on Saturday with a thumping 4-1 win over Everton, which may just be the tonic to give their league season a boost and bring their performances on par with what we've seen from the Magpies in the Champions League.
One of Manchester City's biggest Achilles so far this season has been their form away from the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's team have already lost on the road to Brighton, Aston Villa and Newcastle this season, with their last away win in the league coming at the start of October.
Those dropped points have contributed to them dropping off the pace at the top, with Arsenal five points in front after this weekend's results.
Luckily for Pep, next up sees a trip to West London, where historically City rarely struggle. In fact, you have to go back to 2009 for the last time Fulham beat Manchester City.
They can't afford to be complacent, however, as Fulham come into it off the back of an impressive performance at Tottenham and have the tools to frustrate City further.

A win at Manchester United was heralded by David Moyes and his team last weekend, but Everton followed that up with their worst performance at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday as Newcastle thrashed the Toffees.
It's hard to judge what kind of team Everton are right now, as they fail to find any consistency and occupy mid-table in the Premier League standings.
On paper, the trip to the South Coast to play Bournemouth would look like a tricky tie, but they'll face a Cherries side whose form has dipped since their heady start to the campaign.
It's no win in the last four for Andoni Iraola and his side will still be smarting from letting a 2-0 goal lead slip against Sunderland at the weekend.
