Tottenham predicted lineup vs Newcastle - Premier League
By Sean Walsh
Tottenham Hotspur will have to put their various crises to one side this weekend as they head north to face Newcastle United.
Spurs' on-field and off-field woes continue to pile up - managing director of football Fabio Paratici resigned on Friday after his worldwide football ban was upheld, while last weekend's shock defeat to Bournemouth has still left a sour taste in the mouth.
Can the north Londoners manage to find the strength to go again and make one last push to finish in the top four?
Here's who Cristian Stellini is expected to call upon.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Newcastle
GK: Hugo Lloris - Potentially entering his final stretch as a Spurs starter with the club on the hunt for a new goalkeeper.
CB: Cristian Romero - Has actually played well when he's been locked in this season, though those instances have been few and far between.
CB: Eric Dier - Endured a miserable time in the reverse fixture back in October.
CB: Clement Lenglet - Stellini revealed in his pre-match press conference that Lenglet should be able to return after suffering an injury early in the Bournemouth defeat.

RM: Pedro Porro - Didn't cover himself in glory last time out, but his place in the lineup is secure with Emerson Royal still injured.
CM: Oliver Skipp - Enjoying an extended run back in the first XI in recent months.
CM: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg - Made his 140th Spurs appearance last week.
LM: Ivan Perisic - At long last appears to be developing an understanding with Son Heung-min, though it'll likely prove to be too little and too late to save Spurs' season.
RF: Dejan Kulusevski - Realistically, one of Arnaut Danjuma or Richarlison should be drafted in to afford Kulusevski a rest, but that's just not going to happen.
LF: Son Heung-min - Back among the goals with two well-taken strikes in his last two games.
CF: Harry Kane - Only Erling Haaland has scored more goals in the Premier League this season than the England captain.
