One year after their devastating loss to Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park last season, Newcastle United takes on the London team this Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
To suggest that the Magpies dominated Spurs in what was billed as a Champions League qualification match would be an understatement. After United went ahead 5-0 in the first 20 minutes thanks to goals from Joelinton, Alexander Isak, and Jacob Murphy, nobody could believe what happened next. Harry Kane added a late consolation goal before Callum Wilson entered the game, and it ended 6-1.

In a season dominated by injuries, Schar is the only Newcastle player to start every Premier League match this campaign.
4. CB: Dan Burn
Burn has performed superbly since moving back into the centre of defence. Really stepped up as stand-in skipper.
