Saint-Maximin To Partner Wood Up Front | 4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup Vs Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Newcastle United on Sunday evening, hoping to pick up all three points on their home turf. The Magpies will be coming into the match on the back of a disappointing 1-0 loss to Everton, whereas the Lilywhites recorded an encouraging 3-1 victory over West Ham United on March 20.

Eddie Howe will probably opt for the 4-3-3 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game, as Allan Saint-Maximin looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.

4-3-3 Newcastle United Predicted Lineup Vs Tottenham Hotspur

Defence

Martin Dubravka will continue to operate in between the sticks for the visitors. The Slovak shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Sunday.

Eddie Howe is expected to field the defensive duo of Fabian Schar and Dan Burn at the heart of the Magpies’ backline. Their main objective would be to track and close down the potential openings the Tottenham front-men might create.

Emil Krafth is a guaranteed starter at the right wing-back spot, whereas Matt Targett will fill in on the other flank as the left wing-back.

Midfield

Joe Willock and Joelinton are expected to start in the central midfield positions, whereas Bruno Guimaraes will slot in as the defensive midfielder. The duo would be determined to set up some clear-cut goal-scoring chances for the front men.

Matt Ritchie will have to settle for a place on the bench but could come on in the second half of the game if needed.

Attack

Allan Saint-Maximin and Jacob Murphy will take up the wide positions, playing down the right and left-wing, respectively.

Chris Wood will lead the line for the visitors against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. The striker will be hoping to get his name on the scoresheet when he faces off against the Spurs defence that has kept two clean sheets in their last five matches across all competitions.
