4-4-2, start brightly, score within 20. Soldado beats Krul.
Today is the 2nd anniversary of the 5-0 against them at the lane, a repeat of that would be nice.
What are the chances of Adebayor getting a rest and Soldado being given a chance to finally show everyone some of that clinical finishing we all know he's capable of?
Would like to see:
Lloris
Walker-Kaboul-Vertonghen-Rose
Bentaleb-Dembele
Lamela-Paulinho-Eriksen
Soldado
With Townsend for Lamela if he still isn't fit and Ade to come on and save the day if Soldado fails again.

I think you're probably right - though I'm worried Ade could pick up an injury by a frustrated Toon-defender while he's vulnerable having played 2 games in short succession..
No idea why Ade should be dropped as an experiment for Soldado..?
I do however think RS needs to be introduced into the games late on, so he at least has a chance to fight for his place back..

Considering I only attend away games (Due to my location / available funds) I must take some credit for this.
Feel free to praise me.
As long as Timmy is in charge Ade and Bentaleb will start every single game, mate - it's probably his little way of saying 'fuck you' to the system
Just to be clear, I'm in no way advocating "dropping" Ade, but everyone needs a rest now and then, especially when games come so close - and ESPECIALLY when we cannot afford an injury.
Good job!
This. No point in projecting lineups without Bentaleb and Ade in them if they're fit. We all know Timmy is Bentaleb's father and Ade has saved his ass.
Fixed
Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has no fresh injury concerns for his side’s Premier League trip to Newcastle on Wednesday night.
Sandro (calf) and Vlad Chriches (back) remain sidelined and Sherwood also confirmed Erik Lamela has suffered a set-back in his recovery from a thigh strain and will also be missing.
Andros Townsend will be pushing for a start after returning from the bench in the win against Everton following a lay-off with a hamstring injury.
Provisional squad: Lloris, Friedel, Archer, Gomes, Walker, Naughton, Dawson, Vertonghen, Kaboul, Rose, Fryers, Dembele, Capoue, Eriksen, Bentaleb, Paulinho, Chadli, Townsend, Sigurdsson, Lennon, Soldado, Adebayor, Kane, Defoe.
