Tottenham looking for revenge over Newcastle on opening day of Premier League season following 2015-16 humiliation, says Eric Dier

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to avenge their humiliating defeat at Newcastle United on the last day of the 2015-16 Premier League season, says Eric Dier.

The top flight fixtures for next season were revealed on Wednesday, and the two sides meet on the opening day of the 2017-18 campaign.

Tottenham, who were second for a majority of the 2015-16 campaign, were thrashed 5-1 by an already-relegated Newcastle on the final day, much to the joy of local rivals Arsenal, who sneaked above them with a win over Aston Villa.
