Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Preview

Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United 

Competition – English Premier League

Stadium: Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Date: 29th August 2026

Kick-off time – 17:30 GMT

Tottenham host Newcastle United at their own stadium on Saturday evening as both sides look to arrest difficult starts to the season, with neither having tasted victory in the league so far.

Spurs’ recent form has been underwhelming. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-0 defeat away at Brentford. Prior to that, a 2-2 draw with Hoffenheim was the final pre-season fixture. Before that, a 3-0 win over the same opponents was a much sharper display. Earlier in this run, a 1-1 draw with Getafe and a 2-1 win away at Chelsea complete a five-match sequence of two wins, two draws and a single defeat.

Newcastle arrive in similarly patchy shape. Their most recent outing brought a 2-2 draw at home to Liverpool in the league. Prior to that, a penalty shootout defeat to Strasbourg following a 1-1 draw was a disappointing pre-season send-off. Before that, a 1-2 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen continued a difficult run. Earlier in this run, a 1-3 home loss to Everton preceded a 2-1 win away at Valencia, completing a five-game spell of one win, one draw and three losses.

The head-to-head record favours Newcastle United, who have won three of the last five meetings, with two draws and no wins for Tottenham Hotspur. Most recently, Newcastle won 2-1 away at Tottenham. In the previous encounter, the sides drew 2-2 at Newcastle. History gives the visitors the clear edge heading into this one.

In the UK and Ireland, the match is live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League, available via Sky Go and NOW. In the United States, viewers can catch the action on NBC and fuboTV. Coverage also extends to Australia via Stan Sport and to Germany on Sky Sport Premier League.
