Tottenham host Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a Saturday Night Football Premier League clash on August 29, live on Sky Sports.
Tottenham made an awful start to the new season with a 3-0 opening-day loss at Brentford, and sit second bottom in the early Premier League table.
Roberto De Zerbi's side did though respond with a 5-1 win over Charlton in the Carabao Cup in midweek.

Spurs vs Newcastle odds and score prediction
Sky Sports' Lewis Jones...
There are times in betting when you have to decide whether a bad performance is a warning sign or a price-making opportunity.
I'm leaning towards the latter with Tottenham.
The 3-0 defeat at Brentford was awful. There is no dressing it up. Spurs looked disjointed, physically behind the game and defensively vulnerable, while Roberto De Zerbi admitted afterwards that his side were "not a team" yet.
But I'm prepared to give them another chance.
De Zerbi has an excellent record in the game immediately following a defeat of three or more goals, winning eight of 11 such matches, with his teams averaging 2.1 goals. That's a big enough sample to make me sit up as Tottenham are available at 6/5 with Sky Bet. It's a bet.
There were mitigating circumstances at Brentford, too.
Spurs had five competitive debutants in their starting XI, while Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro were unavailable and several players had either returned late from the World Cup or endured disrupted pre-seasons.
It doesn't excuse the performance, but it does suggest that some of what went wrong is fixable.
And there is now a sense of the cavalry returning.
I'm not suddenly convinced Spurs are back to being the team many expected them to be before a ball was kicked. But the home win price looks quite tasty at odds-against as this feels like a classic reaction game for De Zerbi and Tottenham.
SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1
Spurs vs Newcastle team news
Omar Marmoush could make his Tottenham debut following his move from Manchester City, while Savio is in line to make his league debut after scoring in his first Spurs appearance in midweek.
Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro are available while Mohammed Kudus could be fit enough for a spot on the bench after an injury layoff. James Maddison is being assessed.
Newcastle head coach Matthias Jaissle says new signing Nico Gonzalez is an "option" to start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium following his signing from Man City.
"Savio is 'bomba'. All players we brought, I think are 'bomba'!"
Tottenham have gone big in this summer transfer window, spending around £380m on eight first-team signings to transform a squad which only narrowly escaped relegation from the Premier League last season.
Head coach Roberto De Zerbi has been key to Spurs' summer spending, some of which he has described this summer as "bombas" - social media parlance for big or unexpected transfer news.
Clearly De Zerbi, who called for top additions after saving Spurs' top-flight status, is understandably delighted with the business done.
"In my vocabulary 'bomba' is a great player," he told Sky Sports News' Michael Bridge with a smile ahead of the Saturday Night Football clash with Newcastle, which is live on Sky Sports.
"I'm very happy. We brought all very good players. Especially because they wanted to come. I want players proud and happy to stay here. To play football now you need big motivation, big ambitions. Without that part it's impossible to make results.

"At the moment we have a great squad, a great team. Maybe we have to close with another player but we have to sell a couple of players. But we can consider us very, very happy."
De Zerbi has been praised by some of those signings for his inspirational phone calls, convincing them to join the Spurs project. So what does he say in those key conversations?
"Nothing special," he shrugs. "I live off passion. I live for football. I explain our project - not my project - and we were lucky because they accepted and we're very happy and proud."
De Zerbi is perhaps underplaying the impact he can have on players. His task to rescue Spurs at the end of last season was far from a guaranteed success. But he delivered a priceless run of results for the club. And a priceless memory for himself.
"Big emotion, big memories," he says about the post-match celebrations after a final-day win over Everton ensured Spurs would not be relegated.
"I think it was maybe the best day in my career.
"Not because of the target. We stayed up with Tottenham. But because they were seven weeks very tough, many emotions. The players deserved to stay up."
But regardless of what is deserved, De Zerbi knows every point in the Premier League needs to be fought for.
That was in evidence on the opening weekend of this season, when his Spurs side, featuring some of those new additions, were overwhelmed, outplayed and outfought by Brentford at the Gtech.
Spurs will need to be sharper against Newcastle.
"The name of the players are not crucial," says De Zerbi. "To make results you have to fight, run, play well. But as a start, I think it's very important [to have signed such quality]."
It will take time for the new players to gel, he admits.
"The patience is to find the connection, the balance between the players," he explains. "To give organisation you have to know the characteristics of your team-mates and the connection is not so fast to reach.
"But anyway, in Brentford we had the quality and have to compete better. They deserved to win the game, we deserved to lose the game, we didn't play well but we could play much better anyway."
The aim will be for his new-look Spurs to start showing that potential in their first Premier League home game of the campaign on Saturday night.
Liverpool will host Tottenham in the third round of the Carabao Cup, while Manchester United face Brighton as one of a potential six all-Premier League ties.
Spurs travel to Anfield in the competition for the second time in three seasons, having lost 4-1 on aggregate to the Reds in the semi-finals of the tournament in 2024/25.
Elsewhere, Sunderland host promoted Hull, while fellow Premier League new boys Ipswich face Arsenal.
Holders Manchester City will welcome Championship side Norwich to the Etihad, having not lost to the Canaries in five home meetings dating back to 2013.

Coventry will go head-to-head with Aston Villa in an all-Midlands clash, while there is guaranteed to be at least one cross-London tie too with West Ham hosting Fulham.
Chelsea, meanwhile, will face old rivals Leeds and Newcastle face a long trip to Millwall after narrowly beating fellow Championship side West Brom.
Everton, knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Wolves last season, will get a chance at revenge at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, while Brentford visit League One side Reading and Bournemouth host Lincoln.
The ties will be played on the weeks commencing September 7 and September 14.

How to watch the Carabao Cup on Sky Sports
Sky Sports customers can watch matches on Sky Sports+, with games also available on the Sky Sports app and website.
The nine Premier League sides in Europe - Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Brighton, Sunderland and Crystal Palace - all come in for the third round.
Tottenham have confirmed the signing of Manchester City forward Omar Marmoush on an initial loan.
Sky Sports News understands a £60m obligation to buy has been inserted in the deal and the fee is split into a £50m guaranteed payment, plus £10m in add-ons.

Eintracht Frankfurt, who sold Marmoush to City in January 2025, do not have a sell-on clause, contrary to reports.
The German club received their desired guaranteed fee at the time, plus additional bonuses.
There were also very few instalments, meaning all payment obligations to Frankfurt have been fulfilled by City.
Marmoush, who will wear the No 22 at Spurs, now follows former City teammate Savio to join Roberto De Zerbi's squad, after the Brazil winger completed an £85m move to Spurs on Tuesday.
Savio made his debut for the club during Wednesday's 5-1 win against Charlton in the Carabao Cup, where he scored and assisted Ben Davies in the victory.
De Zerbi: Marmoush can take our attack to next level
De Zerbi believes the addition of Marmoush to his squad can take their attacking play to the "next level" with the pace, intelligence and threat he offers in front of goal.
"Omar is exactly the kind of player we want at this club - ambitious, hungry and determined to make a difference," De Zerbi said.
"He has incredible attacking quality but what I also love is his desire to improve and to win.
"He brings pace, intelligence and a real threat in front of goal, and I believe he can take our attacking play to another level."
Speaking after his signing was confirmed, Marmoush said: "It feels amazing to be here. I'm so excited to get started with the team and I can't wait to meet the fans.
"Tottenham Hotspur is one of the biggest clubs in England, if not the world, and the project was very attractive to me.
"I've spoken with the head coach, I loved what he had to say and I'm sure our passion for the game will go very well together."
