Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur: Predicted line-ups and latest news
One of the marquee matchups in the third round of the English Premier League will be the clash between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur.
Newcastle has had a decent start to the new season, securing a narrow victory over Southampton, followed by a draw with Bournemouth, and another close win in the League Cup. Tottenham is in a similar situation, having earned four points in their first two Premier League matches with a draw against Leicester and a win over Everton.
Both teams will enter the upcoming match with some key players sidelined. For Newcastle, Sven Botman, Martin Dubravka, Lewis Miley, Fabian Schär, and Callum Wilson will be unavailable, and the participation of Joe Willock is still in doubt. Tottenham will be missing Richarlison and new signing Dominic Solanke.
Ahead of the match, Newcastle defender Kieran Trippier announced his retirement from the England national team.
"I never imagined that, as a young lad from Bury, I would get the chance to play for my country, let alone make 54 appearances. It has been one of the greatest honors of my life to represent my country in four major tournaments."
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s sporting director, Johan Lange, briefly commented on the team’s performance in the summer transfer market.
"Step by step, we are shaping the team in the desired direction, and this summer was another positive step."
