The summer transfer window has officially ended, with teams having finalized their rosters for the new season. While some English clubs managed much better in the summer window, Newcastle certainly didn't enjoy a significant signing period, unable to work on various reinforcements. However, with the possibility of doing additions over for a while, the Magpies club would want to maximize their output with the existing squad.
Will Newcastle be able to keep their unbeaten Premier League streak alive against Tottenham?
So far, in the first two Premier League matchdays, Eddie Howe's side has emerged unbeaten despite being far from impressive. Edging past Southampton in their season opener and enjoying a crucial point via Gordon's clinical equalizer, the club finds itself currently at 4 points from 2 games. But their next challenge is against the mighty Tottenham, and thus the question arises: will Newcastle be able to keep their unbeaten Premier League streak alive?
Eddie Howe's side is arriving into the fixture with a close win in the 2nd round of the Carabao Cup against Nottingham Forest. Though they should have won the fixture quite comfortably, in the regular minutes only, the Magpies side would be much satisfied with a win, advancing them to the 3rd round. Thus, the club's spirit would be significant, that too on top of their home advantage.
Moreover, the last time the two English clubs faced each other at St. James Park, Newcastle had thumped Tottenham 4-0. Not to forget, Alexander Isak had scored a brace, with Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schar scoring one each, helping the club register a brilliant win against Tottenham. Definitely, apart from the players in action, a significant role would be entertained by Newcastle's home fans.
However, Tottenham's recent form can't be underestimated as they are coming on the back of an impressive 4-0 victory against Everton. Thus, despite a lot being for Newcastle's win, it'll be a significant boost for the Tottenham Hotspur club if they beat the Magpies Club on their home ground. Not only would the fixture be important from the club's rivalry perspective, but a win for any of them would help get past the other as they currently rank adjacent on the points table.
Overall, the Newcastle vs. Tottenham fixture would be a highly anticipated fixture, with both teams looking for the maximum points from the matchday. With both of them unbeaten till now, it would be difficult to predict a winner beforehand, but the Magpies Club might win it, given their home advantage.
