3 changes as Allan Saint-Maximin starts – Confirmed NUFC team to face Tottenham

Following our 1-0 defeat at Everton and the international break that’s followed, we take on Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after a few weeks away.

The teams are in ahead of the 4.30pm kick off on Sky Sports, seeing us line up as follows:

STARTING 11: Dubravka – Manquillo, Schar, Burn, Targett – Willock, Shelvey (c), Joelinton – Fraser, Wood, Saint-Maximin.

SUBS: Dummett, Lascelles, Ritchie, Krafth, Murphy, Darlow, Gayle, Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes.

So, Eddie Howe has brought in Manquillo, Shelvey and Saint-Maximin for this one, replacing Krafth, Guimaraes and the absent Almiron.

Schar and Dubravka have also passed fitness tests after returning early from international duty with problems, while Guimaraes’ place on the bench suggests he isn’t deemed ready to start after not long returning from his time away with Brazil.

Elsewhere, Kieran Trippier (foot), Callum Wilson (calf) remain out, with Federico Fernandez also left out.

Here’s the side Antonio Conte has gone with, seeing Kane and Son start for the hosts:
