After narrowly avoiding relegation last season, Tottenham have been busy in the transfer market.
They have recently added Savio and Omar Marmoush from Manchester City, and the latter could make his debut here.
James Maddison headlines the injury list for Spurs, but Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro could also play their first Premier League minutes after returning to the bench against Charlton.
After losing against Brentford, Roberto De Zerbi will be desperate to make it back-to-back wins here.
Matthias Jaissle got his first victory as Newcastle boss against West Brom in the cup, after holding Liverpool to a draw.
The Magpies were unlucky not to take all three points, having conceded a last-minute equaliser.
They could also hand a debut to a new signing from Man City in Nico Gonzalez, but key players Dan Burn and Joelinton, while Tino Livramento remain out injured.
Newcastle are seen as underdogs for this one, but despite a summer of change, they have shown they can still cause teams problems.
