Newcastle vs Tottenham

Newcastle United have won both of their first two home matches of a league season for the first time since 2009-10 in the Championship, and first time in the Premier League since 2000-01.

Tottenham have lost four of their last six away Premier League games (W1 D1), more than their first 15 on the road under Ange Postecoglou beforehand (W6 D6 L3).

None of the last 80 league meetings between Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur have been goalless; it's only the seventh fixture in English top-flight history to go 80+ games in a row without a 0-0.

Newcastle have won three of their last four Premier League meetings with Spurs (L1), as many as in their previous 13 (D2 L8). Three of their last five league victories against Spurs have been by at least a four-goal margin.

Tottenham have lost their last two Premier League away games against Newcastle by an aggregate score of 10-1. They’d only lost two of their previous 11 such visits to St James’ Park (W6 D3).

Newcastle v Tottenham is the most played fixture in Premier League history to never finish 0-0 (58 games). Only Liverpool v Tottenham (191) and Arsenal v Liverpool (190) have seen more goals than this in the competition (186), while there has been 34 goals in the last seven meetings alone (4.9 per game).

Newcastle have scored at least once in each of their last 20 Premier League home games, scoring with their only attempt on target in their last such match against Southampton. Only once have they had a longer scoring streak at St James’ Park in the competition, going 24 games between January 1995 and February 1996.

Having won four of their first six Premier League away games last season (D2), Tottenham have now won just three of their last 14 on the road (D5 L6).
