What is the team news?
Tottenham are unlikely to have left-back Sergio Reguilon available to make his debut due to lack of match fitness, while Gareth Bale (knee) is definitely out and boss Jose Mourinho could make a host of changes following Thursday's Europa League qualifying trip to North Macedonia.
Newcastle full-back Jamal Lewis remains a doubt after suffering a nasty cut above his eye against Brighton, as does striker Allan Saint-Maximin (ankle). Ciaran Clark (thigh) is likely to miss out, while fellow defender Fabian Schar (shoulder) is back in light training after a shoulder injury, but goalkeeper Martin Dubravka (ankle), defender Paul Dummett (tendon), midfielder Matty Longstaff (thigh) and striker Dwight Gayle (knee) are still out.
What are they saying?
Alex McLeish on Steve Bruce
“I know the quality of Steve and the type of man-manager he is, the players will love him, I’m sure, players will want to play for him because he’s got a charisma but he also knows the game inside out. “He was getting compared to Rafa (Benitez) immediately when he arrived and the very first points he dropped it was: ‘He’s not going to be as good as Rafa’ but he proved to do even better in terms of the league position and they turned out to be quite exciting. “I was quite enjoying watching them at the end of the season, they were quite an exciting team to watch.”
What are the odds?
Tottenham 1/2
Newcastle 11/2
Draw 7/2
What's our prediction?
Newcastle head to Tottenham in high spirits after putting seven past Morecambe in the League Cup in midweek. They are chasing their third away win of the season too, and fourth clean sheet - even though their defensive back line suffered a blip in a 3-0 loss to Brighton last weekend.
Tottenham have had an indifferent start to the new Premier League. After losing on the opening weekend to Everton, they beat Southampton 5-2 last Sunday.
Our prediction: Tottenham 2 Newcastle 2
