José Mourinho wants to generate momentum and, after three wins in three in all competitions, the signs are encouraging, particularly with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min combining well. The challenge for them will be to make the running against a Newcastle team that will most likely be compact and look to strike on the counter. There have been times under Mourinho when this has been beyond them. Newcastle have won four of their last six in the league at Tottenham. David Hytner
