Tottenham Hotspur endured a difficult start to their Premier League campaign, losing 3-0 to Brentford in a London derby. That result has increased pressure on Italian manager Roberto De Zerbi, who saved the club from relegation at the end of the previous season. Spurs did find some relief with a 5-1 victory over Charlton Athletic in the EFL Cup on Wednesday, August 26. That was their first win of the season. New signing Savio made an instant impact in that cup tie, coming off the bench to score a goal and provide an assist just a day after joining the club. De Zerbi hinted he may give Savio his full Premier League debut against Newcastle.
Newcastle United began their league season with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool. They also secured their first win of the campaign in the EFL Cup, beating West Bromwich Albion 3-2. New right-back Amar Dedic was influential in that cup win, providing two assists. Dedic looks poised to play his third game in a week against Tottenham, though Jaissle may consider other changes to the lineup.

This early-season trip to Tottenham represents a significant test for Newcastle United's ambitions. A positive result would consolidate their strong start and keep them in touch with the top of the standings. The club's next fixture is at home against Bournemouth on September 5th. Bournemouth are currently 14th in the table, making it a match Newcastle will be expected to win. The performance of new signing Amar Dedic will be watched closely as he continues to adapt to the Premier League.
