6 - Harry Kane has scored 6 goals in 8 Premier League appearances at St. James’ Park, with only Wayne Rooney scoring more goals there as an away player in the competition (9 in 12). Salute.

The first game of a new era at St. James’ Park ends in defeat.
28 - Since Steve Bruce took the Newcastle United job prior to the start of the 2019-20 campaign, the Magpies have dropped 28 points from winning positions in home league games, the most of any Premier League side. Curtains.
Only Chelsea (19), Liverpool (18) and Man City (17) have won more points than Spurs (15) in the Premier League this season.
Nuno and co. quietly going about their business.
4 - Spurs have won each of their last four Premier League matches when conceding within the opening two minutes, also: 5-1 vs Bournemouth in Oct 2015, 4-1 vs Southampton in Dec 2016, and 6-1 vs Man Utd in Oct 2020. Oddity.
Arsenal welcome Crystal Palace and their manager Patrick Vieira at the Emirates as Mikel Arteta targets three points tonight.
Arsenal had steadied their ship before the international break, winning three and drawing against Brighton. Securing 10 points out of a possible 12 is seen as progress, and Mikel Arteta would want to build on this momentum when they face Crystal Palace at the Emirates on Monday night.
Despite showing immense promise in their play style, Crystal Palace only have a solitary win to show for their cause. They suffered two losses to Chelsea and Liverpool while securing impressive draws with Brighton, Brentford, West Ham United and Leicester. It’s how those draws transpired that impresses Palace fans the most.
There is optimism about getting a positive result at the Emirates, as Vieira will be hoping to exploit the Gunners’ weaknesses. A win will certainly highlight the progress made under Vieira, while a loss would bring them back to the drawing board for further assessment.
Mikel Arteta has the luxury of a near fully-fit squad to pick from.
Granit Xhaka is the only major absentee as he is still recovering from a knee injury picked up last month. Gabriel Martinelli is also a doubt after picking up an unspecified injury last week, but he was unlikely to start anyway.
Arteta could well name the same side who drew 0-0 with Brighton before the international break.
Vieira has a selection dilemma in attack. Michael Olise’s impressive turn off the bench against Leicester last time out could see the youngster thrown into the starting XI for the first time.
Arsenal have won just one of their last six Premier League meetings with Crystal Palace (D4 L1), though it was in their last such meeting in May (3-1 at Selhurst Park).
