Two Premier League sides with ambitions for a top-four finish will face off in an early-season litmus test on Sunday as Newcastle United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St. James' Park.
Tottenham were left frustrated from their opening-day Premier League match as they could only manage a draw against newly promoted Leicester, despite a dominant first-half display that hinted at significant progress under Ange Postecoglou from his first season to his second. That potential was fully realized last weekend as they dismantled Everton, scoring four without their record-signing Dominic Solanke (ankle) in the starting lineup.
Newcastle United's performances have been a bit more gritty, but the results tell a similar tale: four points from two matches, placing them fifth, only behind Spurs on goal difference. The Magpies showed tremendous resolve to secure a win against Southampton with just 10 men on opening day but were lacklustre in the first half against Bournemouth and had to settle for a draw after Anthony Gordon's late equaliser.

Team news & squads
Newcastle team news
Newcastle is facing a host of injury concerns, with centre-backs Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles sidelined due to cruciate ligament injuries. Fabian Schar is also unavailable, as he remains suspended.
In their previous match against Bournemouth, Dan Burn and Emil Krafth paired up as centre-backs and could well start together again on Sunday.
Callum Wilson, Lewis Miley, and Joe Willock are all anticipated to miss the upcoming fixture, and goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is uncertain to feature.
Sandro Tonali made his return to action for Newcastle in their EFL Cup game against Nottingham Forest and may be in line for a starting role this weekend in what would be his first Premier League appearance since last October when he was given a 10-month ban for betting on football.
Newcastle United possible XI: Pope; Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Kelly; Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Isak, Gordon
