Tanguy Ndombele

Tottenham are without club record signing Tanguy Ndombele for the visit of Newcastle.

The midfielder has a minor thigh injury and misses out, along with Juan Foyth and Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring).

However, Son Heung-min starts after serving a three-game ban, but Dele Alli is not yet match fit following a hamstring injury.

Newcastle striker Joelinton limped out of the loss at Norwich but is fit enough to start in north London.

He is joined in the side by winger Allan Saint-Maximin, who missed the game at Carrow Road with a hamstring problem.

However, full-back DeAndre Yedlin (groin), central defender Florian Lejeune (knee) and Dwight Gayle (hamstring) are still missing, while fellow striker Andy Carroll continues his quest for full match fitness.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Lamela, Lucas, Son, Kane.

Newcastle XI: Dubravka, Krafth, Schar, Lascelles, Dummett, Ritchie, Hayden, Longstaff, Saint-Maximin, Almiron, Joelinton.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
