Preview & Prediction
Spurs will be stinging after a chastening 3-0 defeat to Brentford, with early goals from Keane Lewis-Potter and Vitaly Janelt exposing defensive frailties. De Zerbi is also without six key players through injury, including Xavi Simons and Pedro Porro, which complicates his selection headaches. Newcastle, by contrast, head south full of belief after a strong start and a recent H2H edge over Spurs. Given Tottenham’s home advantage but shaky form, expect a tight, high-tempo contest — a narrow Newcastle win or draw looks likely, around 1-2 or 1-1.

Likely Lineups
Tottenham Hotspur: No confirmed XI yet with De Zerbi’s squad hit by injuries, but expect a reshuffled defence and fresh faces given the absentees in midfield and attack.
Newcastle United: Matthias Jaissle is missing Valentino Livramento and Joelinton through injury but otherwise has a fuller squad to choose his strongest available XI.
