Confirmation that the clash against Ange Postecoglou’s side will take place on Sunday 1 September at 1:30pm also means Newcastle United fans know when they could catch their first glimpse of Sandro Tonali back in a black and white shirt. The Italian hasn’t featured since their Champions League group stage defeat against Borussia Dortmund back on 25 October after being handed a ten-month suspension from football for breaching betting regulations.

Tonali has been able to train with the Magpies since being handed that suspension and could make his return to action against Spurs with his suspension due to conclude in the week prior to that game. Newcastle scored a very impressive 4-0 win over Spurs in this fixture back in April with a brace from Alexander Isak and goals from Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schar helping them to a big win on that occasion.
