Newcastle vs Spurs live updates: Confirmed line ups, score and TV information from St James' Park

                                                                                                        AUG/13/2017

The wait is finally over for Spurs fans as Tottenham are back in Premier League action this afternoon - travelling to St James' Park to face Newcastle United.

After a fairly solid pre-season, Spurs will want to get the new campaign off to a good start, especially with the chance to already get a three-point advantage on Chelsea on offer.

However, it won't be an easy task today - as matches against newly-promoted sides never really are.

Rafael Benitez seems to have rejuvenated Newcastle over his time on Tyneside - and guided them straight back up to the Premier League last season by winning the Championship.

We'll have live updates of build-up, match action and reaction as they happen throughout the afternoon from our man Alasdair Gold at St James' Park.

Our man Alasdair Gold has given his prediction on how Spurs could line up today.

And he’s predicting that both Dier and Sissoko will start...

 #THFC: Lloris (C), Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies, Dier, Dembele, Sissoko, Eriksen, Dele, Kane.
