Tottenham Hotspur face Newcastle United in a pre-season friendly at Seoul World Cup Stadium, South Korea, on Sunday, 3 August, with kick-off at 12:00 p.m. BST (7:00 a.m. ET, 4:00 a.m. PT)[1][2].
Spurs come into the tie on a high after defeating rivals Arsenal 1–0 in Hong Kong, with Pape Matar Sarr scoring a stunning goal from halfway. New manager Thomas Frank’s side have shown strong form in pre-season, while Newcastle have struggled, losing their last three friendlies—including a 3–2 defeat to Arsenal and a 1–0 loss to the K-League All Stars[1].
Key team news includes Newcastle missing Alexander Isak, Joe Willock (out indefinitely due to injury), and potentially Lewis Hall (ankle) and Sven Botman (fitness). For Tottenham, Dominic Solanke and Destiny Udogie may remain sidelined after missing the previous game, while James Maddison could feature after being on the bench versus Arsenal[2].
The match will not be broadcast live on TV in the UK. However, fans can stream it through the clubs’ official platforms—NUFC TV (with a match pass) and SPURSPLAY (with an annual subscription)[2].
Tottenham are predicted to extend their pre-season momentum, with club captain Son Heung-min expected to star in his homeland, while speculation surrounds whether it could be his final Spurs appearance. Predicted lineups include:
- Tottenham: Lineup not officially confirmed yet, but several first-team regulars are expected to feature[4][5].
- Newcastle (4-3-3): Pope; Livramento, Schär, Burn, Trippier; Guimarães, Miley, Tonali; Murphy, Elanga, Gordon[1].
