The Magpies have enjoyed a momentous international break in which their £305million club takeover was pushed through making Amanda Staveley's PIF-backed club the richest in world football.
Matters in the boardroom will be put to one side on Sunday as attention turns to taking on Spurs.
Newcastle are without a win so far this season and will be desperate to get their first three points on the board.
Given Tottenham's indifferent start to the campaign, Nuno Espirito Santo will also be determined to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier League following their win over Aston Villa two weeks ago.
