The team sheets are in ahead of today’s massive game in the top-four race, seeing us take on Spurs at St James’ Park.
Here’s the XI Eddie Howe has gone with, featuring x changes from last Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa:
STARTING 11: Pope – Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn – Longstaff, Guimaraes, Willock – Murphy, Isak, Joelinton.
SUBS: Dubravka, Lascelles, Manquillo, Targett, Ritchie, Anderson, Almiron, Gordon, Wilson.
Anthony Gordon drops out of the side, seeing Sean Longstaff comes back in to partner Bruno and Willock in midfield.
As a result, Joelinton has moved out to the left of a front three, while Jacob Murphy has kept his place on the right, keeping a fit-again Miguel Almiron on the bench.
Dan Burn also starts ahead of Matt Targett, with Allan Saint-Maximin missing (as expected) as he recovers from a hamstring issue.
As for the visitors, Harry Kane leads the line and it looks like a switch to a back four, with Lenglet and Davies not fit enough to start:
SPURS XI: Lloris – Porro, Romero, Dier, Perisic – Skipp, Hojbjerg, Sarr – Kulusevski, Son, Kane.
Howay the lads!!
Murphy has no end product 😱 for a game like this!
Let’s hope I’m totally wrong.
