The Spurs in recent days talked about everything more than about today’s game.  Mostly talked about Harry Redknapp, was first acquitted of tax evasion charges, and his name was mentioned as a Fabio Capello successor.But now he is again on Tottenham bench and for now he’ll stay there…

Van der Vaart will obviously miss this match, while in the circle of candidates, are returning Lennon and Defoe. However, it appears that both the opportunity will wait on the bench.

Guests have continued with good performances, so in the last round fell and Aston Villa. After returning from the African Cup of Nations, the match decided Senegalese duo Ba-Cisse.

Magpies have some problems with absences, but somehow always manage to get the most out of what was left in the frame. Thus his chance took and the midfielder Perch, in the absence of Tiote.  With the aforementioned Tiote, of ​​current absences, should be set aside and the midfielder Cabayea, who does the last of three games sentence.

Possible lineups:

Tottenham: Friedel, Walker, Dawson, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjčar, Livermore, Parker, Bale, Modrić, Adebayor

Newcastle: Krul, Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Santon, Obertan, Perch, Guthrie, Gutierrez, Cisse, Ba
