Newcastle vs Tottenham: What to Expect From the Clash at St James' Park
As the Premier League continues to captivate football fans with its thrilling matches, all eyes are on the highly anticipated clash between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Scheduled for today at 13:30 BST, this encounter promises to be a feast of footballing drama and excitement.
Starting with Newcastle, Eddie Howe has made a slight tweak to his lineup following their previous fixture. Harvey Barnes is set to replace Jacob Murphy in the starting XI. Despite this change, Tino Livramento and Lloyd Kelly will continue as full-backs, meaning Kieran Trippier and Lewis Hall will remain on the bench. Notably, Newcastle fans will be eager to see how Sandro Tonali performs, having returned from a lengthy suspension. His performance against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup midweek was encouraging, but his impact today will be crucial for Newcastle's midfield.

On the other hand, Tottenham’s lineup has also seen some adjustments. Micky van de Ven is out of the squad, with Radu Dragusin stepping in. Additionally, Pape Sarr will take the place of Brennan Johnson. The absence of Dominic Solanke and Richarlison means that Son Heung-min will once again lead the attack. Spurs will rely heavily on Son’s creativity and finishing ability to break down Newcastle’s defense.
The match holds extra intrigue given the recent history between these two sides. In their last few encounters, the games have been high-scoring affairs, with Newcastle enjoying some impressive victories, including a 6-1 and a 4-0 win at home. However, Tottenham’s recent form suggests they are well-equipped to challenge Newcastle, especially after their emphatic 4-0 win over Everton.
Chelsea’s encounter with Crystal Palace earlier in the day adds another layer of excitement to the Premier League Sunday. Chelsea has made some tactical changes, including giving Pedro Neto his first Premier League start, while Noni Madueke retains his spot in the lineup. Crystal Palace’s lineup also features new faces, with Nathaniel Clyne, Will Hughes, and Daichi Kamada stepping in.
As the game at St James’ Park unfolds, fans will be watching closely to see if Newcastle can continue their strong home form against Tottenham. The tactical battle between Howe and Tottenham’s Ange Postecoglou will be fascinating, with both managers known for their strategic acumen. Newcastle's solid defense will be tested by Tottenham’s dynamic attacking players, while Spurs' defensive vulnerabilities could be exploited by Newcastle's potent attack.
The match promises to be a spectacle, with plenty of drama expected. Whether Newcastle can build on their past successes or Tottenham will turn the tables remains to be seen. One thing is certain: this fixture will not disappoint.
