Defence
Guglielmo Vicario will operate in goal for Spurs after keeping a clean sheet in his last Premier League outing. Cristian Romero will play alongside Ben Davies at the heart of Tottenham’s backline as they look to keep the Newcastle forwards at bay during the game.
Pedro Porro will be a nailed-on starter at right-back while Destiny Udogie hopes to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Postecoglu will ask both of them to keep things solid at the back and get forward to create opportunities in the front.

Midfield
Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr will operate in the middle of the park as they look to make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park.
Richarlison will try to work his magic from the left while Dejan Kulusevski gives a good account of himself from the right-flank. Giovanni Lo Celso will play as advanced attacking midfielder and will try to create as many chances as possible to win this game against the Magpies.
Oliver Skipp and Pierre Emile-Hojbjerg will have to take a spot on the bench and wait for their chance to impress in the second half in needed.
Attack
Heung-Min Son will lead the charge for the North London club as he looks to get his name on the scoresheet in this home encounter.
Brennan Johnson will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages if told to do so.
