Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says his players are excited ahead of their top four clash with Tottenham.
The Toon host top four rivals Spurs on Sunday.
Howe said: "It's a huge game for us no denying that at this stage of the season with the games running out.
"We're playing one of our competitors in the league so it's a big moment in our season. We're pleased to be at home and we hope to feel the force of the crowd.
"It could be (decisive in top four race). A lot will depend on this week we have coming up. We have a three-game week and they are huge moments with nine games to play for.
"It's what we crave as professionals. You want the big games and you want it to mean something. We're determined to express ourselves in the best way possible. We don't want to play with any fear or restraints and we want to give the best us."
Asked if it was the biggest game of their season, Howe also stated: "I wouldn't have an issue with anyone saying that. We have risen to these types of games this season. Hopefully we can find another gear again."
