Tottenham Hotspur vs. Newcastle United Preview
Spurs opened the season with a 3-0 defeat away at Brentford last weekend. Since that match, Tottenham announced the signings of multiple attacking reinforcements in Sávio and Omar Marmoush, both from Manchester City. Joining blockbuster signings Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke, Spurs have spent big money this summer to bolster the squad for manager Roberto De Zerbi. All eyes will be on the team to back up the transfer business with improved results this year after finishing 17th in back-to-back seasons. They will face a tough test against a physical and fast Newcastle team this weekend. De Zerbi will need to prepare for the Magpies’ lethal counter attack, but if Spurs can maintain possession and score early, they’ll be on track for their first three points of the season.
Despite losing the likes of Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, and Bruno Guimarães in the transfer window this summer, Newcastle looked impressive against Liverpool in their opening game of the season. Matthias Jaissle came in at the helm with only a few weeks to go before the season opener and was close to defeating the Reds in his first match at St. James’ Park, were it not for a late penalty conceded by fullback Lewis Hall. The Magpies will look to build on that match this weekend as they visit Tottenham in search of their first win of the season. Newcastle’s pace on the counter-attack, fueled by Anthony Elanga, will cause Spurs problems going forward. Defensively, the Magpies will need to be stout and limit mistakes when playing out of the back. Jaissle’s men will be raring to go for this one, especially as they face off against former teammate Sandro Tonali.
Tottenham Hotspur vs. Newcastle United: Lineup news, players to watch
New signings Sávio and Omar Marmoush could both make their Premier League debuts for Spurs this weekend. Sávio came off the bench for Tottenham midweek in their 5-1 victory in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, scoring his first goal for the club. He could be given the start on Saturday, but it may be too soon for Marmoush, who was just announced as a Tottenham player on Thursday. Star center-back Micky van de Ven could also make a return to the starting 11, having featured off the bench against Charlton as well as the club manages his return from injury. De Zerbi will also have a headache in who to select up front. Richarlison was given the nod against Brentford last weekend, but Dominic Solanke started and scored in midweek in the Carabao Cup.
Starting striker Will Osula seems to have picked up an injury from the club’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool last weekend and he will most likely not be fit to feature in this one. Jaissle elected to start Nick Woltemade in their Carabao Cup match on Wednesday, but it is unclear if Woltemade will start on Saturday as well. With Osula missing this one, Newcastle will rely on Yoane Wissa and Harvey Barnes for goals. Anthony Elanga had a fantastic first game of the season and will need to maintain his form to create chances for the Magpies. For some good news for Newcastle fans, fullback Tino Livramento has returned to training recently, but he remains doubtful for this match, as does Joelinton who is expected out until September.
