Having lost 3-0 away to Brentford in their opening game of the Premier League season, Tottenham will look to get their first points on the board when they host Newcastle United.

Both sides played in the Carabao Cup in midweek, with Tottenham winning 5-1 at home against Charlton and Newcastle beating West Brom by a 3-2 scoreline.

Newcastle team news
William Osula picked up a foot injury following a collision with Liverpool centre-back Virgil van Dijk and is now set to spend a couple of weeks on the sidelines.
In Osula’s absence, Nick Woltemade started up front against West Brom but failed to impress, so Yoane Wissa could move from the No. 10 role into the centre-forward position.
That could see Joe Willock start in the No.10 role after the midfielder scored just 110 seconds after coming off the bench against Liverpool.

Tottenham v Newcastle prediction
Tottenham’s unprecedented summer spending spree led to a renewed sense of optimism at the club, while Newcastle’s season began with considerably lower expectations following the departure of some key players.
But Spurs were easily beaten by Brentford in their Premier League opener, and Newcastle were very impressive in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
The Magpies will also be feeling confident ahead of this game, having won their last two Premier League trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by a 2-1 scoreline.
This fixture guarantees goals, and there have been at least three goals in each of the last 11 Premier League games between these two sides, so we’re backing over 2.5 goals at 13/20.
Both teams have found the back of the net in 10 of those 11 games, and we’re expecting that trend to continue here with a lot of goalmouth action at both ends.
A score draw feels like the most likely outcome from this game, and it can be backed at 7/2. A 2-2 draw is available at 12/1.
De Zerbi may consider throwing Marmoush straight into the starting line-up due to the Egypt international’s brilliant record against Newcastle.
He has seven goals in five appearances against the Magpies in all competitions and is 11/5 to score against them on his Tottenham debut.
For Newcastle, Wissa produced his best performance for the club in the 2-2 draw with Liverpool. The striker will look to build on that and is 12/5 to score anytime.
