The Magpies are now the richest club in world football after seeing a £305million takeover deal go through that sees Amanda Staveley and the PIF take ownership of the North East side.
However, with no wins in the Premier League so far the focus for now has to be on recording three points as they look to finish the season with their heads above water.
Steve Bruce, though, will be in charge for what will be his 1,000th game as a football manager.
For Tottenham it's been a mixed start to the campaign but after winning against Aston Villa ahead of the international break Nuno Espirito Santo's side will be keen to kick on and push themselves into the upper echelons of the table.
