Some interesting pre-match notes for Spurs-Newcastle:
Anyone want to bet on Spurs' backline? Dav-Toby-Jan-Davies? Dav-Toby-Jan? Sissoko-Dav-Toby-Davies?
Edit: Some internet sleuthing shows the backline has already been announced (DOH!): Serge-Dav-Toby-Davies. I may not like Serge as a player, but I still have much sympathy for him and respect the hell outta him for playing today. Happy to see Tang back on the bench. Hoping that Sess, Skipp, and Bergy all get some PT. Spurs lining up with:
Hugo
Serge-Dav-Toby-Davies
Sissoko-Winks-GLC-Lucas
Son-Kane
- Tottenham will let Serge Aurier decide whether he plays following the death of his brother on Monday.
- Tanguy Ndombele suffered an injury in training (SHOCKING I SAY!) and is not expected to play while Dele Alli's hamstring problem looks set to keep him out again.
- Eric Dier is serving the third match of his ban and Juan Foyth (knee) is a long-term absentee.
- Newcastle will be without loan signing Danny Rose for Wednesday's Premier League clash with Tottenham. The full-back is ineligible to feature against his parent club and is likely to be joined on the sidelines by central defender Jamaal Lascelles (ankle) and midfielders Isaac Hayden and Sean Longstaff (both hamstring).
