Newcastle United welcome Tottenham Hotspur to St James’ Park this weekend aiming to avenge November’s 4-1 hiding in North London.
Toon fans will be hoping for a repeat of last season’s heroics - when the Magpies brutally put Spurs to the sword 6-1. Newcastle boasted a five-goal cushion after just 21 minutes as they chased their first Champions League finish in 20 years.
This time around, Tottenham are the team in the ascendancy and chasing a European return of their own. Ange Postecoglou has lifted a dark cloud over North London, improving the style of play despite losing Harry Kane.
Meanwhile, an injury-stricken Newcastle aim to capitalise on a 1-0 win at Fulham. Eddie Howe still has an entire starting line-up ruled out - an unchanged reality for most of the campaign.
But what about Spurs? What injuries must Postecoglou contend with as he aims to banish Tottenham’s demons from 12 months ago? NewcastleWorld has profiled the visitor’s entire injury list in full - which includes a former Toon academy product.
1. Fraser Forster - Foot
The former Newcastle man is out for the season after fracturing his foot.
2. Manor Solomon - Knee
The winger must undergo another procedure on his knee and is also out for the season.
3. Richarlison - Knee
This weekend will likely come too early for the Brazilian.
4. Ryan Sessegnon - Hamstring
The wing-back - who scored twice against Newcastle as a Fulham player - will not feature again this season.
