Tottenham Hotspur take on Newcastle United in a post-season friendly this week, just three days after their final Premier League match of the 2023/24 campaign.
Post-season friendlies are a strange and rare occurrence, especially with the European Championships and Copa America just around the corner. Unfortunately, it could be another case of Premier League teams cashing in on what is already a busy calendar for their players.
Either way, it will be an exciting homecoming for Ange Postecoglou and his fans in Australia.
When and where is the Spurs vs Newcastle game?
Tottenham and Newcastle will face off at the Melbourne Cricket Ground at 10:45 am BST on Wednesday, May 22nd.

The Spurs Web prediction
This really could be any score. None of the European or South American players will want to get injured on the eve of a big tournament and I assume plenty of youngsters will be involved. Let’s go for: 3-3.
