Thomas Frank has named his Tottenham team to take on a tough Premier League fixture at Newcastle on Tuesday night.
Spurs have won just three of their past 13 matches with another disappointing display at the weekend as they fell to a 2-1 defeat at home against Fulham. Frank's side have conceded 13 goals in their past four matches, with three defeats in a week since the international break ended.
Things do not get any easier as Tottenham take on a Newcastle side in fine fettle with seven victories from their previous nine matches and St James' Park has not been a happy place for the north London outfit in recent years.
Frank has made four changes with captain Cristian Romero back from suspension and the Argentine slots back into the defence alongside Kevin Danso, with Micky van de Ven getting a rest after three games in a week.
Xavi Simons has now not started the past four matches as the £51million summer signing remains out of the team and is among the substitutes instead. Joao Palhinha is with him on the bench as Lucas Bergvall and Pape Matar Sarr line up alongside Rodrigo Bentancur.
Last season's top scorer Brennan Johnson comes into the line-up, seemingly on the left of the front three with Mohammed Kudus and Randal Kolo Muani.
Here's the Tottenham team that Frank has selected:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Danso, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Bergvall; Kudus, Kolo Muani, Johnson. Subs: Kinsky, Palhinha, Xavi, Richarlison, Tel, Gray, Spence, Odobert, van de Ven.
