Spurs Endure Damaging Start to New Season After Big Summer Spending

There was enormous hope surrounding Tottenham before a ball was kicked this season following a huge summer of investment. However, a stern reminder of the challenges that come with the Premier League were apparent on MD1, as Spurs were battered 3-0 by Brentford.

It was a miserable display by Roberto De Zerbi’s side, who looked unfit, unprepared, and short of ideas in comparison to their well-drilled opponents.

Undeniably, Spurs will get better as the season progresses, as stars such as Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and James Maddison build fitness. There could also be a debut for new signing Savinho this weekend after completing his $90 million move from Man City.

Likely Lineup:

(4-3-2-1) Kinsky (GK); Porro, van Hecke, Senesi, Udogie; Bergvall, Tonali, Fernandes; Maddison, Tel; Richarlison

Magpies Impress in First Match Under Jaissle

There was a lot of uncertainty surrounding Newcastle at the start of the season, with the relatively unknown Matthias Jaissle tasked with overseeing a massive overhaul of the squad.

Players such as Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali, and Bruno Guimaraes have all departed the club, but the early signs of this new era were promising in last week’s 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

Lewis Miley and Sean Steur impressed in the midfield roles, while Harvey Barnes and Anthony Elanga were constant threats from wide areas. Most pleasing was the return to form of Yoane Wissa, who registered an assist in arguably his best performance in a Newcastle jersey.

Likely Lineup:

(4-2-3-1) Hornicek (GK); Dedic, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Miley, Steur; Elanga, Wissa, Barnes; Osula

Head-to-Head Stats
