Newcastle will be looking to put an end to their losing run in pre-season on Sunday as they take on a Tottenham Hotspur side they’ve had plenty of success against in recent years.
The Magpies have won four of the previous five meetings with Spurs, a run which includes their memorable 6–1 victory over a Cristian Stellini-led Lilywhites in 2023.
Despite concluding 2024–25 with Champions League football secured, Newcastle have not functioned like a club competing at the top table this summer. Spurs, meanwhile, have played catch-up after mulling over Ange Postecoglou’s future, but they looked more than coherent under Thomas Frank’s tutelage during Thursday’s 1–0 victory over Arsenal in Hong Kong.
Both teams wrap up their Asian adventures on Sunday—a game which could also prove to be Son Heung-min’s last for Spurs after he admitted his desire to leave this summer.
