Newcastle’s fall to the Championship two years ago was a sad story to watch unfold. so seeing their triumphant rise back to the EPL at the end of last season was a joy for many fans to see. They have their sights set on a good Premier League campaign to secure safety for themselves — but the start of their season could get off on bad footing if they lose to the visiting Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs have high goals of their own, wanting to get into the EPL title race and, at the absolute least continue to secure themselves a place in the Champions League. They’ll need to get out of the gates strong this season given how close and competitive the top end of the EPL looks right now, and an emphatic win over Newcastle would be a good way to get things started.
Tottenham Hotspur have seemingly half a starting lineup’s worth of important players either out of this match or in question, with Kevin Trippier, Derrick Rose, Erik lamela, Son Heung-Min, and Georges N’Koudou all expected to miss out, and with Victor Wanyama in doubt with a knee injury. Newcastle are much healthier, though the absences of DeAndre Yedlin and Jamie Sterry will hurt them, as will Dwight Gale likely playing at less than 100% if he does step on the pitch.
