After a poor pre-season, Newcastle United have managed to restore some positivity with their first few performances of the campaign. Matthias Jaissle’s side managed a 2-2 draw against Liverpool in the Premier League and secured a 3-2 victory against West Bromwich Albion in the League Cup.
But it is far too early to relax about this squad. Things could crumble, as the club has witnessed the departure of key players like Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali. The team lacks depth at the back as well as going forward.
Although it is hard to judge at this early moment what more Jaissle could put on the table, if he is given a strong enough squad to produce results.
Moving on to this, the Magpies are going to face their second Premier League game today. They will take on Tottenham Hotspur in London. Obviously, Tonali’s presence adds another interest caveat to the story.
Newcastle United are set to kick off their game against Tottenham Hotspur at 5:30 PM BST. It is an away fixture for Jaissle’s Magpies.
For viewers in the United Kingdom, they can watch the match on TV on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League. They can also stream it through the Sky Go app or the NOW app.
Viewers from the United States can watch the match on NBC and can also stream it live on Peacock and Fubo. In Canada, sadly, the game won’t be televised, but they can watch the live stream on Fubo. Similarly, supporters from Australia can watch the live stream on Stan Sport.
After having an average pre-season despite an aggressive summer rebuild of €300 million-plus, Spurs started their Premier League campaign with a 3-0 loss at the hands of Brentford.
However, Newcastle United cannot afford to take things lightly against Spurs, as they have assembled a very expensive squad with a ton of potential. Moreover, they have depth all across the pitch.
Fans should be intrigued to watch the Magpies’ first away match this season and see how this new-look team deals with the added pressure that comes with it.
