Newcastle have warned Tottenham supporters they could be ejected from St. James' Park if they purchase tickets for designated home sections of the ground when the two sides meet on the final day of the Premier League season.

Tottenham's away allocation of 3,173 has already sold out ahead of the fixture on May 15 and the Magpies have announced there will be no general sale.

Steve Storey, Newcastle's head of safety and security, told the club's official website: "Away tickets have sold out for this game and we are aware that a number of Tottenham fans have attempted to purchase tickets in home areas.

"This is contrary to Premier League ground regulations and I must stress that away fans found to be in home seated areas will face the risk of being ejected from the stadium.

"Accordingly, tickets for this game will be restricted to Newcastle United members who have previously bought tickets through the club's box office."

Spurs currently occupy second place in the table and the title race is set to go down to the wire as the north Londoners are just five points adrift of Leicester with four games left to play.

Mauricio Pochettino's side face West Brom, Chelsea and Southampton prior to their potentially pivotal trip to Tyneside.

Newcastle, meanwhile, are not yet safe from relegation and could be forced to wait until the final day to secure their Premier League status for another season.
