    Not seen many predictions about the starting line up, so here's what I think we'll do.

    Lloris
    Dier Toby Jan Davies
    Dembele Wanyama
    Sissoko Alli Eriksen
    Kane.

    I was close!

    Pretty happy with that, other than the obvious.

    Great chance for KWP today. Really hope he takes his chance and shines. COYS

    I suspect this one may determine whether Sissoko
    goes to Turkey. If he cannot front up away against his
    former club with a hostile crowd, then he really is of no use.

    It took me longer than I'd like to admit before I noticed the subs were included in the pic...

    I may have refreshed on the Spurs Twitter page a few times myself... <whistle>
    Interesting to see both clubs abandoning anything denoting a formation or system, too.

    Any reason Victor is on the bench?

    Picked up a slight injury against PSG and hasn't played since. Probably not 100%.

    Good to see Son on the bench. Will give impact against a tiring Newcastle defence in the 2nd half.

    Is anyone else struggling to work out the formation? Is it 3 at the back with my favourite record signing playing alongside Dembele? Or a back 4 with Dier playing there? Or a make it up as you go along like we did here 2 seasons ago?

    4-2-3-1.
    Lloris; Walker-Peters, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Dembele; Sissoko, Eriksen, Alli; Kane.

    I hope not. Sissoko can do so much more playing through the middle and I'd be happier if KWP had 2 CB's to cover him rather than one.

    Wanyama will be sorely missed today. Need a big game from Dembele.

    Handing KWP his senior debut is a risk but at the same time a massive statement to the likes of D Sanchez...

    You can move to Chelsea and play against your former club for Vitesse Arnhem, or you can play for Poch and be given every opportunity to shine.
