St James’ Park has been a difficult venue for Spurs recently
The preparation for the new 2024/25 campaign has now officially begun, with the majority of the Tottenham squad now being put through their paces at the club’s Hotspur Way facility having returned for pre-season training last weekend.
We are now just a little over a month away from the start of the new season, with Spurs set to travel to the King Power Stadium to take on Premier League newcomers Leicester City on Monday, August 19 for their opening fixture.
They will host Everton at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium five days later, before making the trip up to St James’ Park on September 1st.

Newcastle v Spurs kick-off time confirmed
It has now been announced that Spurs’ clash against the Magpies will kick-off at 1.30 pm on the Sunday.
Spurs also have big clashes coming up against Arsenal and Manchester United later in the same month and it was confirmed last week that all three of those fixtures have been selected for TV broadcast in the UK.
St James’ Park has not been a happy hunting ground for Tottenham in recent times, having suffered respective 6-0 and 4-1 defeats on their last two visits.
Spurs Web Opinion
I would expect Tottenham to beat both Leicester and Everton, although a trip to a newly promoted side is never easy.
The first big test of the season for Postecoglou’s men will be the Newcastle clash and it will set the North London derby up nicely if we can emerge with three points from Tyneside.
