Tottenham: Looking to Build Momentum After a Rough Opening

Roberto De Zerbi endured a difficult start to life in the Premier League, with Tottenham’s heavily rebuilt squad suffering a clear defeat against Brentford. Spurs responded strongly just days later, though, cruising to a 5-1 League Cup victory over Charlton. New signing Savio made an immediate impact from the bench, contributing both a goal and an assist.

Tottenham will now look to carry that momentum into their first home league match of the season. Their recent record in such fixtures is highly encouraging, having won their opening home Premier League game in each of the last five campaigns by a combined score of 14-1.

However, Newcastle have often been a difficult opponent for Spurs. Tottenham have lost six of their previous eight Premier League meetings with the Magpies and have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 encounters.

Newcastle: Plenty of Firepower, but Away Form Remains a Concern

Matthias Jaissle’s Newcastle began the new league season with an entertaining 2-2 draw against Liverpool. The Magpies came close to taking all three points but conceded a penalty in the 99th minute to deny them victory.

They followed that performance with a 3-2 League Cup win over West Bromwich Albion, with Harvey Barnes scoring twice in the second half. Newcastle's attacking potential is clear, although inconsistency remains an issue.

Their biggest concern continues to be their performances away from home. The Magpies have managed only four victories in their last 22 Premier League matches on the road, losing 12 times during that stretch.

Yet Tottenham's stadium has often brought out the best in Newcastle. They have won three of their last four visits to this venue and have collected more Premier League away victories against Spurs than against any other opponent.
