NEWCASTLE fans will get to see their team for the first time after the completion of their long-awaited Saudi takeover.
But while supporters are excited about the new multi-billionaire owners, some are less enthusiastic about seeing boss Steve Bruce still at the helm.
Bruce is thought to be on the verge of dismissal but a replacement has yet to be found.
Visitors Tottenham will be looking to play the role of party poopers and pick up a much-needed win.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men started with three straight victories but then followed that up with three straight defeats before getting back to winning ways at home to Aston Villa two weeks ago.
