2026/27 Premier League, Matchday 2
Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Saturday 29 August, 18:30
Tottenham Hotspur will seek an immediate response when they host Newcastle United for a Premier League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 29 August, kick-off at 18:30.
Form
Tottenham’s league campaign got off to a diabolical start, as they suffered a 3-0 defeat away to London rivals Brentford on Saturday, while Newcastle had a more promising opening, drawing 2-2 at home to Liverpool on Sunday. The Magpies twice led through goals from Anthony Elanga and Joe Willock, but a last-gasp penalty for the Reds denied them a winning start.
Team news
Dejan Kulusevski, Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert remain long-term absentees for Spurs, while Mohammed Kudus is also sidelined. They will hope to have Micky van de Ven, Pedro Porro and Pape Matar Sarr back for this clash.
Joelinto and Dan Burn will be out for Newcastle, while Tino Livramento could return from a minor calf issue.
Head-to-head
Tottenham and Newcastle have met in 175 matches across all competitions. Spurs have claimed 74 wins compared to 66 for the Magpies, while 35 games have been drawn.
Newcastle took four points off Spurs in the league last season, drawing 2-2 at St James Park in December 2025, before a 2-1 away win in London in February 2026.
Quotes
Tottenham Hotspur manager Roberto De Zerbi:
“I think we are not a team yet, for a lot of reasons. We can fix the target when you become a team. Before [we] become a team, we can't say what we can do. We are not in the right point in physical condition for a lot of reasons [...]. But [these] are not excuses, [this is] the normal situation when you are building a new project, a new process. I don't want time, but we have to pass through these problems.”
