Newcastle won five out of seven pre-season matches, setting them up for a strong start to the new season. However, in the first round, Newcastle encountered significant challenges when Fabian Schär was sent off in the 26th minute, leaving them a man down against Southampton.
As a result, Newcastle lost control of the game, allowing 13 shots inside their own box and were fortunate not to concede. Despite this, Joelinton managed to score a goal in one of the few home attacks, granting Newcastle a fortunate victory.
In the second round, during an away game against Bournemouth, Newcastle struggled to create dangerous opportunities in the first half, finding it difficult to overcome their opponents’ pressing. After conceding a goal in the 37th minute, Eddie Howe’s team had to regroup.
Bournemouth launched rapid counterattacks in the second half that could have easily resulted in another goal, causing significant difficulties for Newcastle in transitioning from attack to defense. New left fullback Lloyd Kelly seemed particularly vulnerable.
Nevertheless, the visiting team’s impressive attacking line managed to level the score and produce several dangerous chances. Substitute Harvey Barnes contributed to the team’s success with a series of dangerous passes into the penalty area. Meanwhile, fellow substitute Lewis Hall consistently supported the team’s attacks by delivering well-timed crosses from the left flank.
Overall, it’s clear that Newcastle are not yet at their peak physical condition, especially with several key players unavailable. However, their potent attacking line is capable of pressing opponents and consistently creating dangerous chances. Especially since Sandro Tonali returns from suspension and will help the team to strengthen the game in the center of midfield.

Tottenham delivered a strong performance in the first half of the matches against Leicester City and Everton. Ange Postecoglou’s team demonstrated top-level play, dominating all stages of the game. Pressing, counter-pressing, fast attacks, as well as smart play in positional attacks were executed at high speed and with exceptional quality.
Particularly noteworthy was James Maddison’s performance, as he helped teammates start attacks from their own half, successfully progressed the ball in the midfield, and participated in finishing attacks with his penetrating passes into dangerous areas.
Maddison is incredibly important for Tottenham, as much of the team’s success in building and finishing attacks hinges on his involvement.
After a fantastic season last year, Pedro Porro has already showcased top-class performance in the opening matches of the new season.
Porro is ready to shift to the half-flank or even the central zone of the field at any moment, making powerful, stealthy runs into the penalty area. He is also highly effective in pressing and counter-pressing.
Meanwhile, at 32 years old, Heung-min Son continues to be one of the fastest players in the EPL, making his runs behind defenders into the penalty area highly effective.
However, the first two matches revealed that Tottenham became much more passive in the second half after an intense first half. This was evident in the match against Leicester City, where the shift in momentum allowed the opponents to create several dangerous opportunities, ultimately levelling the score and almost winning the game.
Perhaps Ange Postecoglou should consider distributing the team’s efforts more evenly throughout the matches. Otherwise, the team may tire in the second halves, risking the loss of valuable points.
As for injured players, Dominic Solanke is expected to return to the field only in about a month.
| Recent Form | LWLW |
| Key Players to Watch | James Maddison, Heung-min Son, Pedro Porro |
| Team Strengths | Very intensive play in the first half |
| Team Weaknesses | Passive play in the second half |
| Key Injuries and suspensions | Dominic Solanke (Ankle/Foot Injury), Rodrigo Bentancur (Head/Face Injury) |
In the last season, these teams exchanged crushing victories. In the first half of the season, Tottenham defeated Newcastle 4-1, and in the second half of the season, Newcastle took revenge with a resounding 4-0 victory.
It’s interesting to note that in the five previous matches at St James’ Park, Newcastle failed to secure a victory against Tottenham, suffering three defeats.
However, in their last two home games, Eddie Howe’s side turned the tide, winning with an overall score of 10-1.
Heung-min Son will likely have some opportunities on the counterattack, considering Newcastle’s defensive struggles at the start of the season.
Last season, Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak were directly involved in all four goals scored against Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park. In the upcoming match, they will surely have a good chance to influence the game, especially in the second half.
Both teams play with high defensive lines, so they will likely try to capitalize on this by making quick passes behind the defenders, which is how they created scoring opportunities in both matches last season.
Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur boast powerful attacking potential, making it quite likely that both teams will score. Given their unconvincing defensive performances in their first matches, it’s unlikely that either side will avoid conceding goals in this match.
Newcastle United performed particularly well in the second half against Bournemouth.
Moreover, Newcastle scored at least one goal in the second half in their last four home matches against Tottenham.
Postecoglou’s team performed poorly in the second half against Leicester City and may be vulnerable to conceding a goal from Newcastle during the same period.
