Goalkeeper and Defence
Gk – Djordje Petrovic – the Serbian has firmly established himself as first choice ahead of Robert Sanchez.
RWB – Malo Gusto – thrived against Brentford after being given license to play further forward, and he will be looking to make the same impact against Newcastle.
CB – Axel Disasi – got the important late equaliser last Saturday but he needs to be more consistent defensively.
CB – Thiago Silva – Levi Colwill’s injury means that the 39-year-old will be recalled to the starting eleven.
CB – Trevoh Chalobah – didn’t do a lot wrong on his first Premier League start of the season last time out. Will keep his place if Pochettino continues with three at the back.
LWB – Marc Cucurella – Ben Chilwell’s injury means that the Spaniard could be thrown in at the deep end after 3 months on the sidelines.
