Dominic Solanke will be aiming to score for the fourth game running against Newcastle United when we meet in the Premier League on Tuesday night (7.30pm UK).
The striker returned to action last month following four months out with an ankle injury and has been back to scoring goals in a Spurs shirt in his seven appearances since.
After opening his UEFA Champions League account with a goal in consecutive victories over Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt, our number 19 got up and running in the Premier League this term with a brace featuring a stunning scorpion kick in our 2-2 comeback draw with Manchester City last time out in N17.
Watch - Solanke's scorpion stunner
That double took his tally to nine goals in 13 home league starts for us, extending to 13 goals in his last 19 home starts overall, and has scored four goals in each of his last three appearances against the Magpies.
The England international scored in his only competitive appearance against Newcastle in our colours, netting the opener in last season’s 2-1 home defeat, and bagged three for former side Bournemouth across both games in the 2023/24 campaign.
Starting the last three top-flight fixtures in a row, Dom will be hungry to get back amongst the goals after failing to find the net in our 2-0 defeat at Manchester United and fire us to a much-needed first league victory this calendar year.
Here are some other headline stats, courtesy of Opta, ahead of tomorrow night's game...
- This is the most played Premier League fixture never to finish 0-0 (61 times), while it’s the fourth highest scoring fixture in the competition’s history (196 goals) after Liverpool vs Spurs (209), Arsenal vs Liverpool (199) and Liverpool vs Newcastle (198).
- Solanke has scored 13 goals in his last 19 home Premier League starts (four in six for Bournemouth, nine in 13 for Spurs), while he has netted in each of his last three appearances against Newcastle (four goals).

- Newcastle have won just two of their last 15 Premier League away games (D5 L8).
- The Magpies have lost each of their last three Premier League games in London, last losing four successive visits to the capital in April, 2019.
