Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are set to clash in what promises to be a crucial Premier League encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today. Both sides enter this fixture with contrasting fortunes, as Spurs aim to revive their season after a string of disappointing results, while Newcastle rides high on the momentum of recent victories, including a dominant display against Manchester United.

With both teams grappling with injuries and suspensions, this matchup will test the depth of their squads. Ange Postecoglou will be hoping his reshuffled Tottenham lineup can hold firm against Eddie Howe's formidable Newcastle outfit, who boast one of the most resilient defences in the league of late.

Tottenham's injury woes deepen as Destiny Udogie is sidelined again with a recurring hamstring problem, joining a lengthy list that includes Cristian Romero, Richarlison, and Ben Davies. Rodrigo Bentancur is also unavailable due to suspension, potentially paving the way for Pape Sarr to feature in midfield. Djed Spence is back from his suspension and may slot into the backline, while Fraser Forster is expected to start in goal due to Guglielmo Vicario's continued absence.

Eddie Howe faces defensive dilemmas with Fabian Schar suspended and Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles, and Emil Krafth out injured. Kieran Trippier is also a doubt after picking up a knock in their last game.

Tino Livramento is likely to play at right-back, while Lloyd Kelly could partner Dan Burn in the centre of defence. Up front, Alexander Isak will aim to spearhead the attack, supported by Anthony Gordon and Jacob Murphy.
