In the final Premier League match of the day, Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United in north London.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

Antonio Conte makes one enforced change from the side that beat West Ham United 3-1 in Gameweek 30, with Emerson Royal coming in for Sergio Reguilon, who misses out after failing a late fitness test.

That suggests Matt Doherty will switch flanks and operate down Spurs’ left-side in their usual 3-4-2-1 formation.

Eddie Howe, meanwhile, makes three changes with Javier Manquillo, Jonjo Shelvey and Allan Saint-Maximin replacing Emil Krafth, Bruno Guimaraes and Miguel Almiron.

The latter is not even in the squad – he travelled back from Paraguay in midweek – while Guimaraes is a substitute.


GAMEWEEK 31 LINE-UPS

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Royal, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Doherty, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Sanchez, Winks, Rodon, Gollini, Bergwijn, Moura, White, Scarlett, Bowden

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Manquillo, Schar, Burn, Targett, Shelvey, Willock, Joelinton, Fraser, Saint-Maximin, Wood

Subs: Dummett, Lascelles, Ritchie, Krafth, Murphy, Darlow, Gayle, Longstaff, Guimaraes

        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve got Jonny second sub. All my bench done well, that’s what it’s there for I guess!

  2. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Kane, Son & Kulu... here we go.

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Minimum 15 points there surely.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I don't like to think about minimum possibilities. It can always be less 😆

    2. THFC4LIFE

      Good luck mate. Kane Son Doherty here

      All going well so far 🙁

    So are most people going to get back on the Bowen wagon again? What a season he is having.

    1. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sad i dropped him on my WC.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Wasn’t a bad decision with the orange flag. I wasn’t expecting a start from him.

  4. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    From a £5 bet would you….

    A. Cash out for £121
    B. Let I ride out, need Betis (2-0 HT) Spurs and Barca to win for £324

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cash out

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Who’s letting me down?

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          £121 is a great win off £5, feel Newcastle could frustrate Spurs today

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I wouldn't cash out - see below.

      No brainer.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Please elaborate

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Are you confident in the other 2 games?

          1. THFC4LIFE
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Fairly

    4. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cash out for sure

    5. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    6. nerd_is_the_werd
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would personally just let it continue until Spurs beat Newcastle, then cash out when it's around £200.
      Your money ofc...

    7. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      £121 is barely a tank of petrol - let it ride.

    8. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve never been so confident of a Spurs bloodbath as I am today, let it yield!

    9. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all, will see how the spurs game goes

    10. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ride it out for longer.

    11. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cash out, not be greedy

    12. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hope you didn't cash out due to some of the bad advice on here. If you want guaranteed profit lay Barcelona - don't cash out.

  5. Karan_G14

    Who scores more points?

    A) Salah (mci, MUN)
    B) Bruno (eve, NOR+liv)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      A

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

  6. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Cashing out is exactly what the bookies want you to do as they are paying out at less than expected liability. You placed the bet because you thought they would all win. Let it run.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years

      I used to think like this, but have changed my mind now. Mainly because as time passes you may have new information (e.g., lineups) that changes your view.

      Very recent example: I had an e/w bet on Kevin Chappell in the Valero Texas Open. He shot a -7 on Friday to be in the lead. It is very rare for a golfer to shoot two low rounds in a row (only the best like Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Thomas, Cameron Smith have shown the ability to do it). So I cashed out for 4x my initial stake on Friday. Chappell went on to shoot +1 on Saturday and is now 3 off the lead.

      1. George Sillett
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        My point is that generally on a single bet such as yours there is far greater profit in laying the bet off as opposed to cashing out. Cash out is a bookie attempt to restrict liabilities .

    Bowen first off the bench for TAA. Happy days…

    1. TorresMagic™

      Lovely.

  8. The Mighty Hippo

    I really need Harry Kane to be sent off for losing his rag after missing his second penalty in a row.

  9. Scapegoat Salah

    Nearly time for the FEAST, big Sunday lunch courtesy and at the expense of Newcastle United Football Club 😎

    Dan Burn standing next to Ryan Fraser in the tunnel. Feel this game has peaked already.

    What's up with Digne? He was taken off against Wolves but not flagged at all now?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Upset stomach.

    2. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Something about a stomach ache.
      Only capable playing 90min for France it seems.

    Early days but thinking Lacazette to Cucho and Gordon to Martinelli and have 2.5 min bank for future moves- good plan or not?

    Ramsdale
    James Doherty Coutinho Robertson
    Salah Saka Havertz Kulusveski
    Kane Lacazette

    Sá Digne Gordon Broja

    1. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good plan. Same here thinking of just the one up front (Kane)and fodder. Use the money for differentials

  15. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Some days you just have to laugh. Started TAA and left Bowen third on bench.

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Oh, and transferred in Chalobah for Tierney.

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All these are great in hindsight. It was the right decision at the time. Didn’t think anyone expected Bowen to play tbf. Just unlucky dude

  16. Stamford B

    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’ve been watching Everton 40 odd years but this is the first season I’ve gone home and away every game. I must have done something bad in a past life ffs.

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do it next season too. Plenty of new grounds to visit (!)

      1. Stamford B
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Every cloud and all that 😀

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Must be pretty depressing. I've been a Cov fan for over 50 years so have experienced some pretty grim times.

          1. Stamford B
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Tbh it was lockdown that made me do it and I have had a great time even if the football has been kak.

    2. CRAZY TRAIN

      Respect for your commitment.

  17. HashAttack
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Why aren't there any BPS added to players on the winning side? - Asking as Cresswell owner!

    Think a win should be worth an extra 3 or 5 BPS .

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Winning goal is plenty.

      1. HashAttack
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Only 1 player gets that ... It's a team game and winning is the objective

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Winning teams normally does well in the bonus as is.

  18. Kaneyonero

    Kane hattrick yet?

    1. Scapegoat Salah

      You’ve overused that analogy today mate

        Need a Sunday roast to get the JUICES flowing

        Unfortunately he is monotonously repetitive to the point of boring everyone else senseless.

        1. Scapegoat Salah

  23. Nightcrawler

    Has diet ever scored from a free kick? Can't recall it

    Same for Kane bar the deflected shot vs villa back in 2014

    Shd probably just let someone else take it. Can't be any worse

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      Yes in World Cup

    2. Royal5

        I’m surprised not many teams do the ole lay and strike like Shearer back in the day

        1. Scapegoat Salah

    3. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Really don’t rate the free kicks of anyone in that Spurs side. Kane and Dier are about as good as it gets but they’re bad.

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years

      Yep pretty dire situation when he's your best FK taker

      If you were a Tottenham fan you wouldn’t be making much noise either.
