Newcastle United named skipper Jamaal Lascelles and top scorer Callum Wilson in the starting line-up to face Tottenham Hotspur today.
Federico Fernandez paid the price for a poor display at Wolves in the previous game to make way for Lascelles while Miguel Almiron sat out after travelling with Paraguay for World Cup duty.
With the clash taking place in front of the new owners and a delegation from Saudi Arabia, the Magpies were looking to get off to a winning start.
