Match preview:
Tottenham will be looking to build on their Europa League form when they welcome Newcastle to White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Argentina star Erik Lamela has the footballing world eulogising over his 'rabona' goal in Spurs' 5-1 win over Asteras Tripolis on Thursday night, but it remains to be seen if the forward can show such ability on a regular basis.
A comprehensive defeat at the hands of champions Manchester City last time out in the Premier League highlighted how much work new boss Mauricio Pochettino has to do to ensure Spurs are competing for Champions League qualification.
After opening the current campaign with two victories, life under the new Spurs boss was looking very promising, and the transition seemed to be going smoothly.
Newcastle finally got their first victory of the season with a nervy 1-0 win over newly-promoted Leicester at St James Park.
The result gives Alan Pardew a slightly longer stay of execution in the north east, with fans only slightly appeased after a poor start to the season for the Magpies.
Recent visits to the capital have not proved fruitful for Pardews men. After winning four successive Premier League games in London between May 2013 and January 2014, Newcastle have lost their last three in a row, failing to score in each match.
Team News:
Federico Fazio will miss Tottenham's return to Premier League action against Newcastle this weekend through suspension.
The 27-year-old summer signing was sent off on his top-flight debut against Manchester City, ruling him out of Sunday's match at White Hart Lane.
Nabil Bentaleb and Kyle Naughton will have ankle complaints assessed before the Magpies' visit, while Kyle Walker remains absent after abdominal surgery.
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is keeping his fingers crossed over a series of injury doubts as he prepares to name his team to face Tottenham on Sunday.
In-form striker Papiss Cissé is a doubt with a knee problem, while fellow forward Emmanuel Riviere, who missed last weekend's 1-0 Barclays Premier League win over Leicester with an unspecified knock, is in a similar situation.
So too are defenders Mike Williamson, Paul Dummett and midfielders Cheick Tioté and Sammy Ameobi.
Utility man Ryan Taylor returns to the squad for the first time in 26 months after two cruciate ligament injuries and Rolando Aarons is also on the mend, but fellow midfielder Siem de Jong is unlikely to return until January as he continues to battle his way back from a torn thigh muscle.
Recent form:
Spurs cruised through another Thursday night run-out in the Europa League and manager Mauricio Pochettino must be considering rewardeing Harry Kane with a startin place against Newcastle.
Kane has scored six goals this season including a hat-trick against Asteras in midweek, but all have come in cup competitions with the striker yet to start a Premier League game. With Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor struggling to score, Kane deserves his chance.
Newcastle got a much-needed first win last weekend, at home to Leicester, but they last won away in the league in March, at Hull.
Stat of the game:
None of the last 17 league meetings between these sides at White Hart Lane have ended as a draw.
