A threadbare Newcastle United head to the capital after a disappointing defeat to Everton in midweek.
The Magpies were beaten 3-0 on Merseyside as Eddie Howe was yet again forced to name the same ten outfield players that had started their previous three matches as injury problems continue to persist.
However, there does seem to be a small chink of light at the end of the tunnel with a few of those injured players seemingly close to a return to the fold, although how quick they are able to do that is unknown.
Ange Postecoglou, meanwhile, also saw his side fall to defeat on Thursday night as he shares a similar headache as his opposite number.
Here, we take a look at the latest injury news from both camps ahead of the clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United:
1. James Maddison - out
Maddison has missed the last few weeks with an ankle injury. The former Leicester City man isn’t expected to feature against the club he was heavily-linked with joining in summer and will likely be back in action in the new year.
2. Micky van de Ven - out
Van de Ven suffered a hamstring injury during Tottenham’s chaotic defeat to Chelsea last month and hasn’t featured since that night.
3. Eric Dier - out
Dier has been struggling with a groin problem and will miss Sunday’s game, A return around Christmas is likely for the Three Lions man.
4. Alfie Whiteman - out
