Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to make it three Premier League victories in a row when they welcome Newcastle United to North London on Sunday afternoon.

Spurs are currently fifth in the table, three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, who have a game in hand, while Newcastle sit 14th, now nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Team News:

Tottenham boss Conte revealed during Friday's press conference that Ben Davies would be available this weekend despite missing out for Wales against the Czech Republic on Tuesday due to a minor issue.

Oliver Skipp and Ryan Sessegnon are closing in on returns to action, but the pair will again be out for Sunday's match, while Japhet Tanganga remains on the sidelines.

There are not expected to be any surprises in the home side's XI this weekend, with Dejan Kulusevski again set to join Harry Kane and Son Heung-min in the final third of the field, while Matt Doherty and Sergio Reguilon should operate in the wing-back areas.

As for Newcastle, Martin Dubravka, Fabian Schar and Jonjo Shelvey could all be available against Tottenham this weekend despite recent problems.

Callum Wilson, Kieran Trippier, Isaac Hayden and Jamal Lewis, though, are still out for the Magpies.

Howe has a decision to make in midfield, with Shelvey's availability meaning that there are a number of options in that area of the field, and there are expected to be alterations further forward following the loss at Everton.

Allan Saint-Maximin should come back into the starting XI on the right of the front three, while Jacob Murphy could be given the nod down the left for the Magpies.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:

Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Doherty, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Reguilon; Kulusevski, Kane, Son

Newcastle United possible starting lineup:

Dubravka; Krafth, Schar, Burn, Targett; Willock, Guimaraes, Joelinton; Murphy, Wood, Saint-Maximin
