Overview
- Tottenham will play Newcastle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, August 29 with a 17:30 BST kick‑off and live coverage on Sky Sports.
- Manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Sandro Tonali will start against his former club after joining Spurs in a high‑fee summer move.
- Spurs are carrying several absences including James Maddison who faces a short spell out with a fractured shoulder and long‑term knee injuries to Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert.
- Newcastle arrive with multiple players unavailable or doubtful such as Dan Burn, Joelinton and Tino Livramento, and new signing Nico Gonzalez could make his debut.
- Both sides showed attacking form in midweek cup wins and this fixture has produced goals in every Premier League meeting, so previews and bookmakers expect another open game with both teams likely to score.
