Match Summary
| Newcastle United are winless in three Premier League (PL) matches (D1, L2) with each of those games seeing at least one first-half goal. Meanwhile, it’s been five league fixtures since they kept a clean sheet with their last four such games producing over 2.5 goals. |
| Undefeated in six home PL games (W2, D4), the ‘Magpies’ have incredibly only once led at the break at St James’ Park this term (HT: W1, D14, L2). Pertinently, they are yet to score in the opening 15 minutes at home, registering 72.22% of home PL goals this season after HT. |
| Tottenham Hotspur’s 2-1 win over Arsenal (July 12) made it three league matches unbeaten (W2, D1), and 65.71% of their PL games this term to see both teams score. Since resumption, they are yet to follow up any league result with a repeat next time out (W3, D2, L1). |
| Away from home, ‘Spurs’ are winless in four PL games (D2, L2), three of which saw the same HT/FT outcome. Although they’ve shipped an average of 1.65 goals per league away game this term, they’ve only conceded once across their last two PL games here (W2). |
| Players to watch: Newcastle’s Dwight Gayle has scored three times in his last five league appearances, opening the scoring on each occasion. |
| Two of Harry Kane’s last three goals for Tottenham came away from home, with eight of his 13 PL strikes this term arriving after HT. |
| Stat attack: Newcastle edge the all-time PL H2H stakes (W22, D6, L21), with three of their last four meetings producing exactly one goal. |
| Newcastle boss Steve Bruce has never won a competitive H2H against opposite number José Mourinho (D2, L8). |
| Five of Newcastle’s six home league wins this term came via a one-goal margin – as did all three of Tottenham’s away successes. |
| 70.59% of Tottenham’s PL away games this season have produced over 2.5 goals. |
