Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Newcastle United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday as both sides look to get the better of each other in the Premier League. Spurs suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of West Ham United recently. Similarly, the Magpies crashed to a 3-0 loss away at Everton, so the two teams would be desperate to get back to winning ways this weekend.

Angelos Postecoglu will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could ask his men to make life tough for the visitors in the middle of the park before trying to catch them off-guard on the counter.
Eddie Howe will opt for the 4-3-3 formation and is expected to instruct his players to keep things solid at the back. The Magpies would have to find a way to expose the home side’s weaknesses from the wide areas.

Key Men
Tottenham Hotspur
Heung-min Son will once again be Tottenham’s best hope for a goal if he can pass a late fitness test. Cristian Romero and Ben Davies need to defend their penalty box well so that Spurs stand a chance of earning a clean sheet this weekend.
Newcastle United
Alexander Isak will be Newcastle’s primary weapon in the final third. He would be desperate to find the back of the net after failing to do so at Goodison Park recently. The collective performance of Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes and Lewis Miley could go a long way in determining the fate of this league clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
