Opinion

Tottenham will certainly be looking to expose Newcastle’s defensive frailties on Sunday and is a fixture that the North London faithful will be expecting to win.

Maurico Pochettino will be boosted by the return of Heung-min Son following his three match suspension and the Spurs boss will certainly have the luxury of a selection headache.
