As Tottenham Hotspur prepare to face Newcastle United in a potential top four decider, we have tried to call their predicted lineup.

Despite Spurs succumbing to a shock 3-2 defeat against Bournemouth last Saturday, we expect Cristian Stellini to make no changes to his XI.

Tottenham Hotspur predicted lineup vs Newcastle United

As per usual, Hugo Lloris is expected to keep his place in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Newcastle.

At right wing-back, Pedro Porro is another name that has become virtually undroppable, as he continues to show signs of becoming a real top player, despite being rightly slated by Michael Dawson for his display last week on Sky Sports.

The same goes for Cristian Romero and Eric Dier, who will have a point to prove against one of the league’s finest, considering the underwhelming seasons they have endured thus far.

To cap off the back three will be Clement Lenglet, who continues to split opinion amongst fans and pundits alike.

Now, at left wing-back, Ivan Perisic is also expected to retain his place in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Newcastle.

At the base of midfield, Oliver Skipp has really cemented his place but it has to be said that the depth in the middle of the park at the club is virtually non-existent.

To partner the Englishman is set to be Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, who would like to redeem himself after being torn to shreds for Bournemouth’s winner.

At right-wing, Dejan Kulusevski is also likely to start in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Newacstle.

While injuries have meant the Swede has had a stop-start campaign, it is also worth saying that his performances since his return have not been particularly encouraging, despite his incredible quality.

Of course, it goes without saying that Harry Kane will start, as he continues to be on the search to usurp Mohamed Salah’s goal record in a single season, much like Erling Haaland.

Despite some expecting Arnaut Danjuma to start due to his late strike against the Cherries, we expect Son Heung-min to keep his place in our Tottenham predicted lineup against Newcastle, as he is finding the back of the net again.
