Having secured back to back victories over Brighton and Hove Albion and West Ham United ahead of the late March international break, Tottenham Hotspur are back in action on Sunday afternoon as we welcome Newcastle United to White Hart Lane.
Newcastle (ignoring wider issues with their takeover) have had a woeful season again and were hot favourites for the drop this year until their form slightly improved in more recent weeks. With that said, ahead of the break they registered back to back losses so whilst Eddie Howe’s side will be looking to get back to winning ways to draw a line, manager Antonio Conte should be going into this one full of confidence and ready to watch us register three on the spin.
Unless there are late injury issues from the remaining internationals scheduled, it’s a case of as we were with Japhet Tanganga, Ryan Sessegnon and Oliver Skipp ruled out, and although there is a doubt over Ben Davies, he should make it for the weekend really. Newcastle on the other hand have a plethora of names out, and although one or two might pass late fitness tests, the injury situation is something we really should be taking advantage of.
All eyes to Sunday then.
