Match Preview
| It will be a case of déjà vu for Newcastle and Tottenham this weekend as they open their Premier League (PL) campaigns against each other for the second-straight season and third time in six years! |
| After a sticky patch in November and December last season, Newcastle recovered after Christmas to finish a respectable tenth, despite the financial restraints on coach Rafael Benítez. |
| That situation remains at Newcastle and the lack of investment in the team could be seen pre-season with just one win in five games, the last three of which saw them fail to score. |
| Newcastle won just one of their final five PL games last season but at home they have lost just once in their last nine (W5, D3, L1). |
| Tottenham enter the new season under pressure – financially due to their new stadium and to break their ten-year trophy drought. |
| After just one defeat in their last ten away PL games (W6, D3, L1), and a 2-0 victory here last season, Tottenham will feel confident. However, they have struggled in August under Mauricio Pochettino and have a 1.4 points average per game low in this month in his four years in charge. |
| Players to watch: World Cup Golden Boot winner Harry Kane has scored 139 PL goals in the last four seasons, but has yet to score in August in 13 attempts! |
| With just seven goals for WBA last season, can new loan signing Salomón Rondón be the striker that Newcastle desperately needs? |
| Stat attack: Thirteen of Newcastle’s 19 PL home games last season saw just one side score. |
| Newcastle haven’t won an opening day fixture since 2012/13 when they beat Tottenham 2-1 at home. |
| These teams last played out a 0-0 draw 77 games ago, back in August 1971. |
| Nine of the last ten H2H meetings here have seen over 1.5 goals in the second-half. |
