Where: St James's Park
Kick Off: 1230 pm
Referee: Martin Atkinson
Newcastle have lost their last two league games meetings with us, failing to score in both those games. They last lost three in a row against us in 2005 (four consecutive defeats, all without scoring)
At St James' Park , Newcastle have lost three of their last four clashes with us, with that win coming via their 5-1 win on the final day of 2015-16 season. We have only failed to score in one of their last 25 EPL meetings with Newcastle - a 0-1 home defeat in November 2013.
This will be the fourth time Newcastle and us have met on the opening weekend of an EPL campaign, more often than any other fixture in the competition. Newcastle have lost just one of their eight home league games in 2018, vs WBA in April. This run includes victories over Manu Arsenal and Chelsea, who all finished in the top six in 2017 - 18
We are playing our first match of the season away from home for the eighth consecutive campaign. In the English top - flight history, only Burnley have ever had a longer such run of playing away in a season opener (nine games between 1888 - 89 and 1896 - 97
We have lost just one of our nine away legue games in 2018 (W5, D3, L1), losing to WBA in May. Only Man City (41) have won more EPL points so far in 2018, we have 40.
Harry Kane has never scored a premier league goal in the month of August, despite playing 13 games, 898 minutes and attempting 44 shots
