Harry Kane and Dele Alli both start for Spurs despite returning from their post-World Cup holiday at the start of the week, with the Magpies have summer signing Kennedy back in their ranks after joining for a second season-long loan.
With Jose Mourinho’s side securing an early victory in the form of a 2-1 win over Leicester City on Friday night, Spurs have an early chance to get off the mark as they travel north for the weekend’s early kick-off.
The match is the first of six games on Saturday, with Chelsea also in action as they take on Huddersfield Town at 3pm. The rest of the action sees Bournemouth face Cardiff City, Fulham host Crystal Palace and Watford entertain Brighton and Hove Albion, before Wolves and Everton face-off in the day’s late game.

47 mins: POST! Mo Diame powers a shot that cannons into the post! This second half starting just as frantically as the first.
50 mins: It should be a second for Dele. Eriksen floats a ball in comes to Harry Kane and his shot is diverted into the path of Dele, who can only hand it to Dubravka
At the other end Kenedy somehow has the left side of the half to himself, with only Lloris to beat, his poor first touch squanders an opportunity for Newcastle to equalise.
Wow, you can't take your eyes off this one
56 mins: SAVE! Dubravka with a good save from close range to deny a powerful shot from Sissoko. Tottenham just beginning to build up a head of steam in this second half.
58 mins: Joselu with a late challenge on Eric Dier and he picks up a yellow card. Rondon stripped and ready to join the action for Newcastle
59 mins: As expected Joselu OFF, Rondon ON for his first Newcastle appearance
60 mins: Goalmouth scramble! Hugo Lloris somehow stops Newcastle getting the equaliser after chaos in the box from a corner. Perez going the closest, but Lloris keeps him out
66 mins: A couple of niggly fouls creeping into this one, first from Eric Dier, and then from Matt Ritchie
Dembele looks to be coming on, possibly for Lucas Moura
68 mins: Harry Kane picks up a yellow for a foul on Kenedy
Moura ON, Dembele OFF, Atsu ON, Ritchie OFF
72 mins: As the subs settle in to this one, we have a brief lull in play. Newcastle need Rondon to put his stamp on this game, but hasn't had much service so far
