Newcastle United will be hoping to pick up their first points of the Premier League season when they travel to Tottenham on Sunday.
Steve Bruce is already under pressure after starting his first season in charge with two successive defeats, and will be keen to avoid becoming the first permanent manager to lose his opening three league games at the club.
Tottenham vs Newcastle United latest odds
However, having lost their last four matches against this opposition, the guests are 13/1 (14.00) outsiders with bet365 to pull off a shock win here.

Tottenham vs Newcastle United team news
Son Heung-min is in line for his first appearance of the season for Spurs following suspension, although Juan Foyth, Dele Alli and Ryan Sessegnon are all injured and Ben Davies is a doubt.
DeAndre Yedlin, Florian Lejeune and Christian Atsu are all ruled out for Newcastle, while Allan Saint-Maximin and Dwight Gayle will face late fitness tests.
Tottenham vs Newcastle United preview
Having held out for almost an hour in a reasonably competitive opening performance against Arsenal, the Magpies went down without much a whimper in the subsequent 3-1 loss at newly promoted Norwich.
Brought in for extra training as punishment for that performance at Carrow Road, the players should at least be fired up to make life difficult for Mauricio Pochettino's men.
However, the home crowd are well-accustomed to remaining patient considering their side have only managed two first-half goals in their last 10 fixtures, and scored all three in their opening 3-1 win over Aston Villa in the final 20 minutes.
Tottenham vs Newcastle United tips and predictions
All in all, even money (2.00) looks like solid value on the majority of the goalmouth action going in after the break for the 10th time in 11 meetings between Tottenham and Newcastle.
