It is an all Premier League clash at the Seoul World Cup Stadium in South Korea as Tottenham and Newcastle prepare to take on each other at Sunday lunchtime. Spurs beat bitter rivals Arsenal 1-0 in the first North London derby to be played outside of the UK last time out, while Newcastle lost 1-0 to a K League XI.
The new 2025/26 campaign kicks off in just a couple of weeks' time, with Tottenham playing host to newly-promoted Burnley on the opening weekend, while Newcastle face a potentially tricky trip to Aston Villa. Nonetheless, both teams will want to perform well in this game in order to help best prepare themselves for the new season ahead.

Most recent H2Hs: Newcastle on three-game winning streak
Newcastle have actually won three H2Hs in a row against Tottenham, having done the double over them in the Premier League in the 2024/25 campaign. In fact, the Magpies have won five of the previous six meetings between the two teams, which could give them somewhat of a psychological boost heading into this fixture.

Tottenham preview: Solanke still injured?
Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank claimed after their victory against Arsenal that he is hopeful that Dominic Solanke will recover in time for this game. The English striker was ruled out of the North London derby through injury, and may have to settle for a place on the substitutes bench.
Predicted lineup: Vicario (GK), Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence, Sarr, Bentancur, Kudus, Maddison, Son & Richarlison

Newcastle preview: Still no Isak
Alexander Isak remains off of the Asia tour, with latest reports claiming that Newcastle have recently rejected an opening bid from reigning Premier League champions Liverpool for their star striker. Joe Willock picked up a nasty-looking injury in their last outing, and so it is also unlikely to feature for the Magpies.
Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Burn, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Murphy, Barnes & Osula

Player to watch: Richarlison
In the expected absence of Dominic Solanke once again for Tottenham, Richarlison should get another chance to start from the front. The Brazilian missed a sitter on the line against Arsenal last time out, and will be determined to prove his doubters wrong having been linked with a potential move away from North London in the summer transfer window.
