Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Sunday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United.

Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min is expecting to be fit for Sunday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United in North London.

The South Korea attacker was forced off in the dying embers of Thursday's 2-1 loss to West Ham United, although he allayed any fears of an injury while speaking to the media after the game.

Pape Sarr also made his return from a knock off the bench against the Irons, but Ange Postecoglou will still be without Ivan Perisic (knee), Manor Solomon (knee), Ryan Sessegnon (hamstring), James Maddison (ankle), Micky van de Ven (thigh), Rodrigo Bentancur (ankle), Ashley Phillips (ankle), Eric Dier (groin) and Alfie Whiteman (ankle).

After being short-changed by a Destiny Udogie backpass for James Ward-Prowse's winner, Guglielmo Vicario will seek to end his luckless run in goal, while left-back Udogie ought to be offered the chance to make amends on the left-hand side.

Pedro Porro should also keep Emerson Royal at bay on the opposite flank, while Cristian Romero marked his return from a ban with the opener in midweek and should link arms with Ben Davies once more.

Sarr's return to fitness could see the Senegalese reform his successful partnership with Yves Bissouma, thereby demoting Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to the bench, and Giovani Lo Celso appears set to fill the Maddison void just ahead of the pair.

Assuming that Son is given the green light to play, the skipper will no doubt link arms with Dejan Kulusevski in the final third, but a fit-again Richarlison might take Brennan Johnson's spot on the left.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Davies, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Lo Celso, Richarlison; Son
