13:30 Sunday

In what is expected to be a fiercely competitive match, Newcastle take on Tottenham at St James’ Park.

Newcastle vs Tottenham Prediction

Newcastle needed penalties to secure their spot in the third round of the EFL Cup in midweek. The Magpies have scored just once in all three competitive matches this season.

Tottenham smashed Everton 4-0 last time out and have had a full week to prepare for Sunday's trip to St. James' Park. However, Spurs have struggled recently at Newcastle, losing their last two trips here and conceding 10 goals in the process.

Spurs are unlikely to be quite so open this weekend but the spoils should be shared in what may prove to be an open game on Sunday afternoon.

Score Prediction: Newcastle 2-2 Tottenham

Newcastle vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tips

This is often a goal-laden fixture and we should expect no different on Sunday. There has been an average of 4.2 goals in the last 10 head-to-heads both teams have scored in nine of those.

With goals in mind, we are also backing Heung-Min Son and Anthony Gordon to score. Gordon opened his account for the season by scoring Newcastle’s only goal in their 1-1 draw with Bournemouth last weekend. Son scored twice in Tottenham’s 4-0 win over Everton.

Both Teams To Score, Over 3.5 Goals, Heung-Min Son To Score & Anthony Gordon To Score is 10/1 with BetMGM at the time of publishing.
