Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | Premier League 2026-27
The Magpies are unbeaten in their last eight encounters with the Lilywhites!
Tottenham Hotspur are all set to host Newcastle United for their matchweek 2 contest of the English Premier League 2026-27 campaign. This will be an intense outing between these clubs, taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Roberto De Zerbi-led side will not be happy with their performance in their opening league game of the new season. They faced a dominant 0-3 loss at the hands of Brentford. Despite having the majority of control of the ball, they failed to score a goal and conceded three in return.
The Spurs need improvement both in defence and on the attacking front. They have made multiple signings this year and might even come up with another before the summer transfer window comes to a close. Tottenham Hotspur will be looking for a win in their home contest.
Newcastle United have performed fine when it comes to the final third, but surely are dealing with issues in the backline. They have conceded four goals in their last two games and that will only get worse for them if they don’t decide to act now.
Matthias Jaissle’s men will be away from home and should establish control from the start. Their opening Premier League 2026-27 outing against Liverpool ended in a 2-2 draw and then they went on to secure a 3-2 victory against West Brom in the cup competition.

Players to Watch
Sávio (Tottenham)
The Brazilian forward has now made his official debut for Tottenham Hotspur. It was a top performance by the 22-year-old in a 5-1 victory against Charlton Athletic in the Carabao Cup.
He scored a goal and bagged an assist, helping his side quite effectively in the final third. Savio can be deployed on both left and right flanks, making him an absolute threat to the opponent’s defence.
Harvey Barnes (Newcastle)
Harvey Barnes came up with a sensational performance and played a crucial role in Newcastle’s 3-2 win against West Brom in the EFL Cup. He will be once again gearing up to help his side in the final third and it will be interesting to see his performance out there.
