All eyes will be on St James’ Park this afternoon as Newcastle United take on Tottenham Hotspur in the first game since the Saudi-led takeover.

Kick-off is at 16:30 BST.

The Magpies’ are given a boost by the return of talisman Callum Wilson (£7.3m), who has been out since Gameweek 3 with a thigh injury.

Jamaal Lascelles (£4.4m) also comes back into the starting XI, with Federico Fernandez (£4.4m) dropping to the bench.

As for Tottenham, they are unchanged from the side that beat Aston Villa in Gameweek 7.

That means another start for Son Heung-min (£10.1m), despite suggestions that he wouldn’t be involved due to a positive Covid-19 test.

GAMEWEEK 8 LINE-UPS

Newcastle XI: Darlow, Manquillo, Lascelles, Clark, Ritchie, Hayden, Longstaff, Willock, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin, Wilson

Subs: Gillespie, Schar, Shelvey, Lewis, Hendrick, Fernandez, Fraser, Murphy, Gayle

Spurs XI: Lloris, Royal, Romero, Dier, Reguillon, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Moura, Son, Kane

Subs: Gollini, Sanchez, Tanganga, Davies, Winks, Alli, Lo Celso, Bergwijn, Gil

    Bottomed on last thread

    The Armstrong WC punt seems like an epic fail.

    Toney or Nacho a better replacement? Don't have any Brentford or Leicester currently.

    Or could save transfer and bench Armstrong and monitor the Brentford v Leicester game next week and go with whoever performs better

    I do think Nacho is gonna hit a hot streak similar to last season and he's started and returned in the last 2 games.

      If you want Nacho wait a week.

        I couldn't decide between Mbuemo and Toney when on WC last week.

        Was prepared to wait until after Brentford played Chelsea to decide and still no nearer to deciding.

        I do hope Nacho comes good as I got him late on his hot streak last season.

        I think I may wait one more game and watch the Brentford v Leicester game with an eager eye

      Do we know why Armstrong sat? Otherwise, the reasons governing the punt remain the same.

        I would've thought Armstrong would start especially with Adams injured as well.

        With an out of position Redmond playing up front along with a 5.0 striker and both returning, it doesn't bode well for Armstrong featuring much in the next few games which are good for Southampton

      Benrahma had 3 points. So he was better than Ronaldo, Lukaku, Antonio, Raphinha, Gray, Sarr. I would never get rid at this stage.

    For people that had the same plan - tempted to swap to Vardy instead?

        I'm kind of tempted to try to get Vardy in instead of Antonio at this point. Feel like Lukaku against 3 relegation candidates in a row is still too good to pass up.

            Lukaku has always beat up on bad teams though. Think he could haul over the next 3 weeks.

            Meanwhile Antonio is about to face spurs, villa, liverpool, wolves, city, brighton, chelsea. Pretty terrible run.

      Vardy is so temtping and would fit right in as either direct Lukaku replacement or could be worked in as a jimi/benrama sell. Mane and KDB would be great but difficult to fit in...
