Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank declared he is convinced he will remain in charge for the north London derby against Arsenal despite enduring chants demanding his dismissal and the name of former boss Mauricio Pochettino during Tuesday's 2-1 home defeat to Newcastle. Spurs suffered their 11th Premier League loss of the season, with Jacob Ramsey's 68th-minute winner proving decisive.

The result left them in 16th place, just five points above the relegation zone, and they were booed off at both halftime and fulltime. Due to their early exit from the FA Cup, Spurs face a 12-day wait until their next game against league leaders Arsenal.
