Teams Preview
Tottenham Hotspur FC Preview
Roberto De Zerbi’s first full season at Tottenham got off to a nightmare start, with Spurs completely outplayed by Brentford in a 3-0 defeat. They created little, registering just 0.57 xG and four shots on target from nine attempts, while the Bees piled on the pressure with 26 shots and 3.87 xGA. The defeat was also Spurs’ joint-biggest by margin on MD1 in Premier League history.
However, De Zerbi’s side responded in style midweek, thrashing Charlton 5-1 in the EFL Cup at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Goals from Mikey Moore, Dominic Solanke, Kevin Danso, Savio and Ben Davies should provide a much-needed lift ahead of Newcastle. Spurs have also strengthened their attack with Savio and Omar Marmoush, although the latter’s move is yet to be officially confirmed.
Stats that matter
1. Since the start of 2023-24 season, only three other teams have lost more PL games by a margin of three or more goals than Tottenham (11).
2. Tottenham have won their opening home league match in each of the past five seasons.
3. Spurs have managed to keep only one clean sheet in their last ten league games.
Team News
Aside from their long-term absentees, Tottenham have a doubt over James Maddison after he picked up an injury against Brentford. On the positive side, Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro are both expected to return after missing the opener, providing a welcome boost to Spurs.
Tottenham Hotspur Probable XI - Kinsky (GK); Porro, Senesi, Van Hecke, Robertson, Tonali, Fernandes, Gallagher, Savio, Tel, Richarlison
Newcastle United Preview
Unlike their opponents, Newcastle made an encouraging start, coming agonisingly close to beating Liverpool after leading 2-1 deep into stoppage time, only to concede a late equaliser. That collapse highlighted a familiar problem for the Magpies, who have dropped more points from winning positions than any other Premier League side since the start of last season (29). For Jaissle, ending that habit of conceding late will be a priority.
Newcastle did show their resilience midweek, however, edging West Brom 3-2 in the EFL Cup with Harvey Barnes scoring twice, including the 81st-minute winner. The result should provide a timely boost, while the arrival of Nico Gonzalez from Manchester City could further strengthen their options ahead of the weekend.
Stats that matter
1. Newcastle have won just four of their last 22 away league games (D6 L12).
2. The Magpies have won more PL away games against Spurs than at any other opponent (13).
3. In their last three away league games, under 2.5 goals have been scored.
Team News
Aside from their long-term absentees, Newcastle have suffered two fresh injury setbacks. Dan Burn and William Osula both picked up injuries against Liverpool and are expected to spend the next few weeks on the sidelines.
Newcastle United Probable XI - Hornicek (GK); Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall, Lewis Miley, Steur Elanga, Wissa, Barnes, Woltemade
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC vs NEWCASTLE UNITED
Winning PredictionThis is an intriguing matchup, not because of how evenly contested the rivalry has been, but because both sides struggled in the areas that matter most here last season. Tottenham endured a poor home campaign, while Newcastle found wins hard to come by on the road.
Spurs have since gone unbeaten in their last three league games at home, but Newcastle arrive without a win in their last four away outings, losing three. However, the Magpies have enjoyed recent success at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, winning three of their last four visits. With both trends pulling in opposite directions, this looks like a genuinely tough one to call.
Elsewhere, the bookmakers are backing Spurs to win the contest by the finest of margins, with odds of 2.31 to 2.90 in their favour, while a draw is priced at 3.65.
