Tottenham make the long journey north to face Newcastle United this afternoon, but it will be a visit unlike any the players have had to St. James' Park before.
On paper, a game against Newcastle United is the perfect one for Nuno Espirito Santo. The Portuguese is still under pressure despite a win against Aston Villa last time out but another three points against the winless Magpies would ease that somewhat.
However, following their takeover by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, the Newcastle fans and players have been given a new burst of energy with optimism flooding back into the ground.
As such, it may be a tougher task for Spurs to claim all three points than it initially looked when the fixtures were announced.
"I just want to win the match, I know what kind of atmosphere it's going to be," Steve Bruce said of the Spurs game on Friday.
"Hopefully we can get us started and get a result which everybody will enjoy.
"We are all going to have to be patient, it won't transform overnight, these things take time. Now we have the opportunity to mingle with best in PL which we haven't been doing for a number of years."
That determination to beat Spurs is one shared by the fans as well. Here is what they have had to say.
