Tottenham Hotspur vs Newcastle United Picks
These two teams are far from the finished product. Both sides will need time and reinforcements if they want to get where they want to be.
Spurs already have a lot of quality but struggle to put it together, whilst Newcastle have young talent that needs to break through.
For me, this game points to a score draw.
Other markets include Richarlison to score and receive a yellow card, Harvey Barnes to make two or more successful crosses and Antonin Kinsky to make three or more saves.
