Newcastle vs Tottenham - Premier League: Live score and updates

Smiley Spurs

Tottenham have arrived at St James' Park, and they seem in high spirits.

I'm surprised Brennan Johnson looks so relaxed, he probably has very bad memories of this stadium after last year.

Rime to make new ones, I guess...

New contract for Jackson

Kieran Gill, Mail Sport, at Stamford Bridge:

Chelsea didn't get a striker on deadline day, and their back-up in Marc Guiu is missing from the squad. That leaves Nicolas Jackson as the starter, with Joao Felix and Christopher Nkunku as other options.
Wrote two days ago that Chelsea want to reward Jackson with new contract. News just broke that it's been agreed – he'll be tied down until 2033 rather than 2031. Similar to how Cole Palmer was rewarded. Didn't expect it to be done so quickly, but two parties clearly happy with each other.

Howe: 'Number of unsettled players'

Eddie Howe, Newcastle boss, speaking on Friday:

If I’m being honest, it [the mood in the dressing room] probably mirrors the narrative created and it’s my job to shape that in the most powerful way that I can. What I mean by that is there’s been a number of unsettled players during this window. It’s not been a clear window for us in terms of just bringing players in. It’s been difficult the other way as well.
So I think once the window shuts (which it now has) we’ll have clarity. The players will have clarity. “Right, we’re all here now together for the same aim”, and then I’d like to think we will all go together until January in the pursuit of excellence and in the pursuit of success.
We have some brilliant characters in the squad and a great changing room, so there is no criticism of the changing room. It’s just it has been unsettling. That’s always difficult when the situation is like that.

Unsettled Newcastle

The Geordies are probably happy to see the back of the transfer window.

They had a really unsettled summer, struggling to get the players in the positions they wanted.

One of those being Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, who has remained in south London after coming close to a move to St. James' Park.

Or maybe they wish they had a longer summer, so they could get them.

Either way, the dressing room is not in the best shape as they come into this one, with no new faces through the door on deadline day.

It means no fresh faces are starting for them today...

Crystal Palace Team News - Guehi STARTS

There's Marc Guehi...

The Crystal Palace captain starts for the Eagles after a whirlwind of a summer where it looked like he might leave.

There are no debuts for the likes of Eddie Nketiah and Trevoh Chalobah due to the timing of their transfers on the deadline.

Chelsea Team News - Neto STARTS

Just one change for Chelsea.

Pedro Neto makes his full Premier League debut for Chelsea as he replaces Mykhailo Mudryk.

Noni Madueke of course keeps his place after netting a hat-trick last week, why wouldn't he?

Joao Felix has to ait a little longer until he gets his start, he is on the bench.

Spurs Team News - Dragusin STARTS

Radu Dragusin is in at the back for Tottenham.

the defender replaces Micky van de Ven who has been ruled out through injury.

I bet the Dutchman is secretly happy after the nightmare he endured at St. James' Park last year.

Dejan Kulusevksi is also in to replace Brennan Johnson.

Newcastle Team News - Tonali on BENCH

No... Sandro Tonali does not start.

The Italian midfielder has to settle for a spot on the bench as Eddie Howe reverts to the side that started at Bournemouth last week.

that means that Sean Longstaff, Joelinton, and Bruno Guimaraes all line up in the middle of the park.

Tonali to start?

Sandro Tonali is in the building...

The Italian midfielder made his return to competitive football against Nottingham Forest in the League Cup in midweek, following a 10-month ban due to illegal betting.

I thought he would take a while to bed back into the game after so long out, but my word was I wrong.

Tonali was the Magpies' best player at the City Ground, it looked like he had never been away.

Will that impressive performance earn him a start today?

London derby time

Every week there is a London derby, I swear.

This time it's the turn of Chelsea and Crystal Palace to lock horns and they will do so in the west of the city.

The Blues have of course provided entertainment both on and off the pitch over the last month, as they always do.

With plenty of new faces through the door, they looked the bee's knees last week away at Wolves as they ran rampant, scoring six at Molineux.

But their loss away at Swiss side Servette in midweek kept the club's renewed optimism in check and showed they still have a long way to go.

Today they face a Palace side who were tipped to do well this season, but they have had a terrible start.

Oliver Glasner's side have lost their two opening matches, which were also London derbies, to Brentford and West Ham, and they haven't looked particularly great.

With these two teams, though, I have no idea which way this will go.

Clash of the CL hopefuls

It may only be three games in, but this is a monster clash.

Newcastle and Tottenham will both have the same goals this season and that is to make the top four.

Both have had similar starts to the season. Two games, one win, one draw, and a shaky performance or two were thrown into the mix.

When going for Champions League qualification, teams always want to get one over on their rivals, especially early on.

Newcastle have had major success in this fixture recently, but they can't go into this one thinking the same will happen again.

Meanwhile, those said results will be lurking in the back of Tottenham players' minds, but they can't let it affect them.

It could be a massive mental battle today.

Blockbuster Sunday

We are in for a rollercoaster of a day, people.

There is a reason it is called 'Super Sunday', the three matches ahead today epitomise that saying to a tee.

While we are still a fair few hours away from the showstopper at Old Trafford later, we have some tasty appetisers for you to tuck into.

Chelsea will be looking to back up their thumping of Wolves when they face Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge later.

But the fixture I am licking my lips over is Newcastle hosting Tottenham - it always serves up a cracker.

Spurs fans will not be entirely optimistic after that last two trips to St James' Park, but I guess it's a new season.

Right then, that's enough of an introduction, let's get this show on the road!
