Tottenham Hotspur take on Newport County in the FA Cup this evening.

Tottenham Hotspur line-up: Vorm; Trippier, Foyth, Vertonghen, Dier, Walker-Peters; Wanyama, Sissoko, Dembele; Llorente, Kane.

Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Davies, Georgiou, Oakley-Boothe, Alli, Son.

Tottenham Hotspur continue their FA Cup campaign this evening as they travel to take on Newport County in the Fourth Round of the competition.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men saw off AFC Wimbledon in a 3-0 win earlier this month to advance into the Fourth Round, and now face League Two outfit Newport away from home.

Pochettino has decided to rotate some of his side again, though Michel Vorm keeps his place in goal from last weekend’s 1-1 draw at Southampton, having deputised for the absent Hugo Lloris.

It appears to be a back five for Pochettino tonight, with Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker-Peters as the wing backs, whilst Juan Foyth joins Jan Vertonghen and Eric Dier at centre back.

Moussa Sissoko joins Mousa Dembele and Victor Wanyama in a presumed three-man midfield, with Fernando Llorente and Harry Kane leading the line in the Tottenham attack.

Dele Alli and Son Heung-min are among the substitutes tonight, alongside Paulo Gazzaniga, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies, as well as youngsters Anthony Georgiou and Tashan Oakley-Boothe.
