Follow live coverage as Newcastle United face Tottenham Hotspur today in the Premier League.
Newcastle make one change from their last Premier League match as Harvey Barnes comes in for Jacob Murphy, who drops to the bench. Midfielder Sandro Tonali played against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday. That was his first appearance since a 10-month ban for breaching betting regulations, he is also among the substitutes. Joe Willock is out with a thigh injury. Defender Fabian Schar serves the final game of a three-match suspension.
Tottenham change two of the side that started in the 4-0 thrashing of Everton as Radu Dragusin and Pape Sarr come in for Micky van de Ven and Brennan Johnson. Johnson is among the substitutes, but Van de Ven is not in the squad, while forwards Dominic Solanke and Richarlison are both absent through injury. With his inclusion, Wilson Odobert is the first teenager to start back-to-back Premier League games for Tottenham since Ryan Sessegnon on New Year’s Day 2020.

Newcastle United vs Tottenham Hotspur
Johnson has warmed up really well so far. Murphy loses the ball for Newcastle and Kulusevski plays it to the former Forest winger. He goes for a deft low cross, yet Pope claims happily at his near post.

Kelly is pressured on the left, as Johnson robs the ball. It’s eventually retrieved, yet Newcastle are having a bit of a wobble. Johnson then receives the ball again, and Kelly blocks for a Spurs corner on the right offensive side. It’s taken short and comes to nothing, ultimately.

This is a dangerous area for a set-piece. Right of centre, about 25 yards out. Porro is interested and he whips one! It’s just high of the top-right corner!

Odobert how’s that not gone in? Kulusevski spreads the play out to Johnson on the right. A deflected cross from the former Forest man floats to the back post and Odobert fires over from ridiculously close range!

For some reason, Udogie is high up the pitch and comfortably offside. Maybe stick to what you know…

What impact can Johnson have on this game? Last season in the Premier League, only Leon Bailey (seven) was directly involved in more goals as a sub than Brennan Johnson (two goals, four assists).
