Son Heung-min (£8.6m) looks set to lead the Spurs attack against Newcastle today as he earned his second consecutive start since returning from the Asian Cup.

That pushes Fernando Llorente (£5.7m) to a place among the substitutes despite his 12-point haul against Watford midweek.

There was also a surprise benching for Danny Rose (£5.8m), who was expected to start with an injury to Ben Davies (£5.6m). Jan Vertonghen (£5.9m) might potentially fill in for him at left-back, although could be part of a back-three if one of the midfielders named in the team is playing wing-back on the opposite flank to Kieran Trippier (£6.1m).

Christian Eriksen (£9.4m), Lucas Moura (£6.8m) and Erik Lamela (£6.1m) look like the supporting cast to Son in attacking midfield.

Newcastle have named a relatively unsurprisingly formation too, going with the 4-5-1 system that has served them so well of late.

Matt Ritchie (£5.8m) and Christian Atsu (£5.1m) look likely to provide support to DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m) and Florian Lejeune (£4.4m) while Salomón Rondón (£5.7m) leads a one-man attack.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Trippier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lamela, Lucas, Son.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka; Yedlin, Schar, Lascelles, Lejeune, Ritchie; Perez, Longstaff, Hayden, Atsu; Rondon.

    3. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Some of his passes have looked a bit lazy to be honest.
      That long range shot that was miles over was also a little telling that he's playing tired.

    Lloris showboating. Just watch him stay rooted while someone passes the ball past him in a few.

  18. diesel001

    Interestingly Emerson has just gone out for individual training with a fitness coach. Looks like Alonso will start then... #cfc

  21. DAZZ
    • 11 Years

    Son looks desperate

  22. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Alonso apparently starts

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Source or ban

      1. FFSbet.com
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Aye whatever! 2.5hrs after a gameweek deadline and 2 mins before facts hardly calls for ban or source shout!

        1. DR0GBA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I was right as well...calls for a ban because of a claim that he starts well after deadline is quite sad

          1. FPL Forward Thinker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      He’s had a kick up the backside and will drive on. Sold many weeks ago but when Man Utd knock Chelsea out cup Alonso will be in my plans

  26. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    If Rafa had some balls he would play Longstaff in the hole.

    1. FPL Forward Thinker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He would put his what where?
