Tottenham face Newcastle on Sunday afternoon as they look to turn up the heat on Arsenal and the fourth-place spot in the Premier League.
The two north London clubs seem to be battling it out for the final Champions League spot, and Tottenham can overtake Arsenal on Sunday as the Gunners aren’t set to place Crystal Palace until Monday.
However, as Newcastle have shown in recent months, the Magpies are no pushovers and Spurs could struggle to beat the Tyneside outfit.
With that in mind, we’ve had a go at predicting Tottenham’s starting XI for this one.
We think that Antonio Conte will make just one change from the team that beat West Ham a fortnight ago.
Unfortunately for Spurs, this may be an enforced change. Football London have reported that Sergio Reguilon pulled up in training on Thursday, and with Ryan Sessegnon also injured, there may be a bit of a reshuffle at the back.
Emerson Royal comes in for Reguilon, while Matt Doherty shifts over to the left, allowing Royal to play in his favoured right-wing-back spot.
Aside from that, it’s the Spurs team that we’ve grown accustomed to seeing in recent weeks with Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son and Dejan Kulusevski leading the attack.
Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg start in the midfield, while Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Cristian Romero play in the back three.
