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.

    Llorente heads it about 10 ft over the bar

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Tbf he had no view of the ball because of the sunlight.

    Emerson doing personal training during team talk, Alonso back on the starting team surely???

    1. Tshelby

    Will Poch join Utd next year do we think?

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

      Why would United be interested in a downgrade?

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on whether OGS gets past PSG, according to press reports.

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Will United take him ??
      Is the question.

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He's a world class manager, it's Spurs budget restraints prevents them from winning titles.

    4. QuintonFortune25
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes imo

    5. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      They're better off with Ole.

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

    Think he was gesturing to the football gods for his lack of ability.

  6. Eddie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    It was the sun in his eyes to be fair.

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Plenty mock him for no reason because they don't own him.

      1. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I was mocking him a little bit.

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I don't own him TBH but he had no view of the ball.

  7. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    No surprises from Sarri.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Oh ferrrkkkk,

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

      Christensen in for Rudiger...who said in the week Chelsea should be ashamed of themselves.

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

          Ah fair enough, hadn't seen that story. He's on the bench though.
