Ange Postecoglou could consider three Tottenham changes vs Newcastle as Yves Bissouma call looms
It is almost one year ago since Tottenham were well and truly embarrassed at St. James' Park as Newcastle United hit them for six. Then with Cristian Stellini in charge following Antonio Conte's Spurs exit a few weeks earlier, the game was all but over as a contest after only nine minutes as they trailed by three goals.
Falling five goals behind 21 minutes into the match, Harry Kane pulled one back shortly after half-time before Callum Wilson later restored Newcastle's five-goal lead. A game which had massive repercussions in terms of Tottenham failing to qualify for Europe, the Lilywhites will be looking to right the wrongs of their last visit to Newcastle when they make the trip to the north east this weekend.
Featuring in Saturday's early kick-off, the game against Eddie Howe's men gives Tottenham the opportunity to strengthen their Champions League credentials ahead of Aston Villa's showdown against Arsenal the following day. Tottenham will go into the game in confident mood following last weekend's 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest and they could really do with making it back-to-back victories as Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea are all to come in the weeks ahead.
So could Ange Postecoglou possibly make any changes to his Tottenham team to face Newcastle United in Saturday's 12.30pm kick-off? football.london takes a look below at three possible alterations.
