Spurs Welcome Home The Magpies – Gameweek 3

I’m really proud of Kyle. It’s a big season for him this year, he’s had a big couple of games already and now, no bigger test than playing Manchester City away and being up against Sterling, but he handled it exceptionally well.

Some Insights of the match:

• Tottenham have won their last four Premier League matches against Newcastle, since a 1-5 defeat on the final of the 2015-16 campaign. The Lilywhites have never won five consecutive league games against the Magpies.
• None of Spurs’ last 21 Premier League home games against Newcastle have ended as a draw (13 wins for Spurs, 8 wins for Newcastle).
• Newcastle won 4-0 versus Fulham on their last Premier League visit to London in May – their biggest margin of victory in a Premier League game in the capital. They haven’t won consecutively in London in the competition since a run of four victories between May 2013 and January 2014.
• Newcastle have won 21 Premier League matches against Spurs – only versus Aston Villa (22) have they enjoyed more victories in the competition. The Magpies have scored more goals against Spurs than versus any other Premier League team (73).

Team News

SPURS

Heung-Min Son is back from suspension and available to face Newcastle United on Sunday, while Dele Alli has returned to training after a hamstring injury.

There is also good news on midfielder Dele, who is back in training with the first team after sitting out of our first two games of the season with a hamstring injury. However, midfielder Tanguy Ndombele has sustained a minor thigh injury during training and is unavailable this weekend. He joins Juan Foyth and Ryan Sessegnon on the sidelines.

Newcastle United

Dwight Gayle, Joleinton and Allan Saint-Maximum are all in contention to make the trip to London, the latter two may start after being assessed.

Elsewhere, DeAndre Yedlin and Andy Carroll are also unlikely to see much action before the international break while Christian Atsu, Florian Lejeune and Jack Colback are longer-term absentees.
