Tottenham - Newcastle
Last updated: Today, at Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United in Premier League clash
Saturday 29 August 2026 sees Tottenham Hotspur welcome Newcastle United to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for their matchday 2 Premier League encounter. The hosts look to bounce back immediately after a difficult opening league defeat against Brentford, though they arrive with momentum following a resounding 5-1 EFL Cup victory over Charlton Athletic. Newcastle United also enter the fixture off the back of a cup win, having narrowly edged past West Bromwich Albion 3-2, and will aim to build on the resilience shown in their 2-2 Premier League draw with Liverpool last week.
Recent history suggests a tight contest, with Newcastle United claiming a 2-1 victory during their last league visit in February. The expected XI for Tottenham Hotspur features a potent attacking trio of Dominic Solanke, Mathys Tel, and Savinho, while Newcastle United are set to rely on the pace of William Osula and Yoane Wissa. With both sides demonstrating attacking intent in mid-week, the ability of defensive units led by Marcos Senesi and Sven Botman to maintain composure will likely determine the outcome.
