Loss Newcastle vs Spurs

NEWCASTLE vs TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR - Saturday 13th April - KO 12:30 pm

We have Forster (foot), Sessegnon (hamstring) and Solomon (knee) all remain sidelined, while a late call is set to be made on the fitness of Richarlison, who missed the win over Forest with a knee injury.

We have fielded 19 different centre-midfield combinations so far this season, so rotation in the middle of the pitch could be on the cards this weekend, with Bentancur, Hojbjerg and lo Celso all pushing to start ahead of Bissouma and Sarr.

Son, who contributed to three of our four goals (one goal, two assists) in the 4-1 home win over Newcastle earlier this season, is expected to lead the line if Richarlison is not deemed fit to feature, while Kulusevski will look to displace either Johnson or Werner on the flanks.

We first played competitively against each other on Saturday 18th February 1905 in an FA Cup tie where we shared the spoils at 1-1, play at White Hart Lane. The replay was on the following Wednesday, 22 February 1905 where they thrashed us 4-0 at Newcastle’s ground.

In total we have played each other 169 times where we have won 75, they have won 60 and 34 games have been draws.
