With the 4 lads late back from South America, I expect we’ll see:

———————Lloris
Tanganga—Rodon—Dier—Reguilon
—————Hojbjerg—Skipp
Lucas————Ndombele————Son
————————-Kane

Subs: Gollini, Doherty, Davies, Winks, Dele, Gil, Bergwijn (maybe?), Scarlett, Markanday

Hard to fill the subs bench there; maybe Nuno will re-route one or two of the late arrivals towards the Toon.

Just our luck to catch the Geordies when they’re high as kites on the back of this Middle East money. Will be a big atmosphere at St. James’s Park.

Hope Nuno doesn't reroute any of the SA 4 to Newcastle. Let them recover before more travel on Wednesday
Would be so happy to see Markanday on the bench. But it seems he's persona non grata as far as first team is concerned
I think ATM the team you suggest is the best one, but long way in time and space before the game

Suddenly this game seems really tough (though all games are tough for us at the moment) as their stadium will be rocking after the takeover news.

Possibly, but those playing know they will be shown the door within 12 months. Only St Maximen and possibly Callum Wilson good enough to stay.
Good time for Harry to spoil the party.

We should let the Spurs Ladies play instead, by way of protest against inequality. Or of that's too far, let a female manage the men's team for one match.

They should be careful what they wish for!
Their club will never be what they want- a return to the early 80's etc
Just another money doped plaything for some very nasty characters!
I hope we spoil the party- it could be epic

These international breaks are killing us. You have to feel sorry for Nuno. Best performance for weeks v Villa and he has to take at least 3 of the best performers out of the team . Add to that the takeover/ potential new manager bounce and we have really been dealt a bad hand.

New owners or not their shit.

We're not much better but should be winning this. No doubt we'll cave under the atmosphere but hopefully for once we can deal with it and continue our performance from villa.

Right, my take is we need to stop being so pessimistic! We are three points off second, yes we lost three on the spin but the Villa game was much better.
We’ve got nothing to fear, as long as we turn up!

With the South Americans out the team all but picks itself. Outside of that it’s deadwood and kids. A bit worrying really.

Going to need pace in defence to counter their threat in behind with Mbappe, Salah and ASM.

Going forward I think we should be able to exploit Ramos' lack of pace but we'll need to be wary of Kante and maybe try to attack down the wings with Son and Lucas very wide. Tough one.

fingers crossed there £90m and £80m new signings Winks and Alli have a poor game.
