Tottenham host Newcastle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, August 29 (12:30 PM ET / 11:30 AM CT / 9:30 AM PT).
Tottenham will be without the injured Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski, with Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro Sauceda and Pape Matar Sarr rated doubts. Mathys Tel, Mikey Moore and Mateus Fernandes remain among the main creative outlets in Tottenham’s attack. Newcastle travel with the injured Joelinton and Dan Burn ruled out, while Valentino Livramento and William Osula are doubtful, leaving Anthony Elanga and Joseph Willock as the visitors’ most direct outlets going forward.
Tottenham sit on 0 points after 1 match with a goal difference of -3, following a 3-0 loss away to Brentford, while Newcastle have 1 point and a goal difference of 0 after a 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool. Last season closed with Tottenham beating Aston Villa 2-1 and Wolves 1-0, and Newcastle winning 3-1 against both West Ham and Brighton, so there’s goalscoring pedigree on both sides heading into this one.
