Tottenham Hotspur will take on Newcastle United in an away fixture in the Premier League this weekend. It will be a crucial game for them as far as a Champions League berth for next season is concerned. They are fourth in the points table with 60 points after 31 games.
However, Aston Villa are inching close to them and might overtake them soon if the situation favours. Hence, Spurs cannot afford to drop any points and should continue collecting all three points. Expect a competitive game against the Magpies.
4-2-3-1 Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Lineup Vs Newcastle United
Defence
Guglielmo Vicario will continue to protect the goal for Tottenham Hotspur. Pedro Porro, who had a mixed performance in the previous game, is expected to be retained as the right-back.
Boss Ange Postecoglou has used numerous centre-back combinations this season. But the duo Christian Romero and Destiny Udogie are likely to start this game. No change at the left-back position as Micky van de Ven continue his operations. He dropped a terrific performance against Nottingham Forest last week.
Midfield
Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are the holding midfielders in the line-up. However, the likes of Rodrigo Bentancur, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Giovani Lo Celso are also pushing for a start.
Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner have done well and will continue to play on the wings. It means Dejan Kulusevski has to start on the bench. To accompany them, James Maddison is to be deployed as number 10.
Attack
In-form Son Heung-min is expected to continue leading the offensive line. He got an assist in his previous outing. However, he would be desperate to find the back of the net. Richarlison, on the other hand, might be marking his comeback from a knee injury.
Fraser Forster (foot), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring) and Manor Solomon (knee) are the confirmed absentees for Spurs for this clash.
