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:
21. Sean Longstaff - doubt
Longstaff hasn’t featured since football returned after the international break and didn’t feature in midweek. There is hope that he will be able to return to action soon, however, whilst not impossible, this is unlikely to come against Spurs. | Getty Images
22. Harvey Barnes - doubt
Barnes picked up a foot injury at Bramall Lane in September and has not featured for the Magpies since that day. Whilst there is hope that he can return before a busy festive period, it’s unlikely that this return will come against Spurs. | AFP via Getty Images
