Tottenham 3-0 Newcastle. It is hard to see how struggling Newcastle will get anything from this one, and it could soon become a case of damage limitation.

Spurs can move up to third with a win.

Victory over Bournemouth has just shot Manchester City into second place in the Premier League. A win for Tottenham against this struggling Newcastle side would see them draw level with the Champions on points.

Tottenham manager, Mauricio Pochettino on Spurs' start to the season:

"I think very good. With all the circumstances I think it's very positive.

"I feel so happy because we're competitive and that's the most important thing. Playing not in our best, you are capable of playing a team like Manchester City and taking one point. It's very positive and it's very early in the season to see what's going to happen.

I am positive and optimistic always and of course happy in the way we started."

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce: 

"They [Tottenham] are a very, very good side.

"We're under no illusions as to how difficult it will be, but hopefully it's just the right type of game for us. We know we'll have to play well to get anything at all - far better than we did last week."

Here are the teams, they head out of the tunnel. This is Newcastle's first match at the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium, they won their last three games at White Hart Lane can they continue that run here?
