Newcastle United to Face Tottenham Hotspur in Premier League Clash

Newcastle United is set to host Tottenham Hotspur at St. James' Park on Sunday, continuing the action in matchweek three of the 2024-25 Premier League season.

After the recent closure of the transfer window, both teams—having started the Premier League season with a draw and a win—can now concentrate solely on their on-field performance.

The Magpies entered their first home game with a challenging dynamic, as they played with ten men for over an hour following the red card issued to Fabian Schar. Despite this setback, they managed to secure a 1-0 victory over Southampton.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur had a dominant performance against Leicester in their opening match but settled for a draw after Jamie Vardy countered Pedro Porro‘s goal.

In terms of player availability, Newcastle will be without several key members, such as center-backs Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles, who are currently sidelined due to cruciate ligament injuries. Additionally, Fabian Schar remains suspended.

Defenders Dan Burn and Emil Krafth, who played as center-back partners against Bournemouth, are expected to take the field again on Sunday. Other players likely to miss inclusion in the match include Callum Wilson, Lewis Miley, and Joe Willock, while goalkeeper Martin Dubravka remains doubtful.

On a positive note, Sandro Tonali has returned and could be in contention for a starting position for Newcastle this weekend.

The predicted lineup for Newcastle United includes: Pope (GK) — Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Kelly — Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton — Murphy, Isak, Gordon.

Tottenham, on the other hand, will be without Richarlison for the coming weeks due to a training injury, and Dominic Solanke is also unavailable.

However, Rodrigo Bentancur is likely to be featured in the squad, although he may start on the bench, depending on manager Ange Postecoglou‘s selections for midfield.

The predicted lineup for Tottenham Hotspur includes: Vicario (GK) — Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie — Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison — Johnson, Son, Odobert.

Recent meetings between Newcastle and Tottenham have showcased intense performances, including a memorable 6-1 victory for Newcastle in 2023, where they secured an early lead.

As the match approaches, anticipation builds for both teams as they aim to escalate their strong starts to the season amidst a lively atmosphere expected at St. James’ Park.
