Tottenham Hotspur XI vs Newcastle United – Predicted lineup and team news

Tottenham Hotspur travel to Tyneside to take on Newcastle United on Tuesday in the midst of a crisis.

Thomas Frank’s side have lost three consecutive games in all competitions. Worryingly, they have conceded eight goals in the process. Moreover, they possess a dreadful record in midweek Premier League games. In fact, Spurs have lost their last seven such matches.

Despite their recent struggles, Spurs have been resilient on the road outside of the capital. They remain unbeaten in Premier League games outside London this season. However, they will need to summon that away form to get a result against a Newcastle side that eliminated them from the Carabao Cup at this venue just last month.

Tottenham Hotspur team news

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has received a significant defensive boost for the trip to St. James’ Park. Captain Cristian Romero returns after serving his one-match suspension. Consequently, the Argentine centre-back is expected to slot straight back into the starting XI.

Frank also confirmed that the squad has emerged unscathed from the weekend’s derby against Fulham. Fortunately, he reported no new injury concerns despite the grueling schedule of four matches in ten days.

While the return of Romero is a positive, Spurs remain without several key attacking and midfield assets. Dominic Solanke, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Yves Bissouma all remain sidelined.

However, the injury situation is slowly improving elsewhere. Ben Davies is fully fit, while Radu Dragusin and Kota Takai have both returned to training. Up front, Randal Kolo Muani or Richarlison will lead the line. Richarlison boasts an excellent record against Newcastle. Impressively, he has been involved in six goals in 10 appearances against the Magpies.
