Mike Dean will be the man in the middle when Newcastle United make the trip to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

It has been a tough start to the season for the Magpies with defeats to Arsenal and Norwich City leaving them in the relegation zone at this early stage of the campaign.

And it does not get any easier as they face a trip to Spurs this weekend.

On Tuesday afternoon, Newcastle revealed on their official Twitter account that Dean would be the referee for the clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

And it would be fair to say that not too many of their fans are best pleased.

Dean last took charge of a Newcastle game in April - dishing out five yellow cards in their 1-1 draw away to Brighton & Hove Albion.

The 51-year-old is often Box Office and there could well be fireworks in London this weekend.
