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 missing the injured Xavi Simons, Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski, all ruled out with knee problems, along with the sidelined Mohammed Kudus (thigh), while Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro and Pape Matar Sarr are doubts. Mikey Moore, Mathys Tel and Rodrigo Bentancur are the players most likely to carry Spurs’ attacking threat. Newcastle will also be without the injured Joelinton and the sidelined Dan Burn, with Valentino Livramento and William Osula doubtful, but Bruno Guimarães and Anthony Gordon remain the two names to watch.
Tottenham head into this at 0 points from their opening game, with a -3 goal difference following that defeat, and will want a response in front of their own fans. Newcastle sit on 1 point after a draw, still searching for a first win, but with Bruno Guimarães and Anthony Gordon leading their attack they should carry goal threat of their own on the road.

Backing Tottenham at home makes sense against a Newcastle side yet to win, and with both defenses porous enough to expect goals at both ends, a 2-1 Spurs win with a goal for Bruno Guimarães fits the shape of this one.
