Chris Hughton spent more than 20 years at Spurs as both player and coach but memories of the derby rivalry with Arsenal will be put to one side this evening.
Hughton: "I spent an awful lot of time at Spurs and that was the big derby game but, when you come away from that, all your focus is very much on here.
"There isn't that relationship between Newcastle and Arsenal that I have been used to, so I am fully focused on getting a result for Newcastle and no other thoughts."
