Hugo Lloris
Certain starter. The Frenchman made some cracking saves against Everton and looks in top form.
Kyle Walker
A clever assist against the Toffees capped off a good all-round showing for the right back. Walker faces a straight fight with Glen Johnson to start for England at next summer’s World Cup.
Danny Rose
The flying full-back put in some great crosses against Everton. There’s no reason why he can’t also be in England contention in the future.
Michael Dawson
The skipper divides opinion but, with Chiriches injured and Kaboul lacking match-fitness, he’s a certain starter.
Jan Vertonghen
It is vitally important to Spurs’ top four hopes that the Belgian remains fit for the remainder of the season.
Etienne Capoue
The Frenchman has only started one league game under Tim Sherwood – the win at Old Trafford – but Nabil Bentaleb has played 90 minutes in Spurs’ last five league matches so the teenager could be rested against the Toon.
Mousa Dembele
If Capoue plays, the Belgian will almost certainly be asked to play an advanced role, as he did against Everton. Demebele has great skills but his decision making and vision are poor.
Paulinho
Divides opinion and has been labelled ‘a Brazilian Jermaine Jenas’! But Paulinho has quality and is a certain starter in this one.
Andros Townsend
Aaron Lennon has looked jaded in recent weeks so expect Townsend to be given his first league start under Sherwood. The England man has been injured since December.
Emmanuel Adebayor
The main man. The Togolese is reportedly a doubt but Sherwood will play him even if he’s only half fit.
Christian Eriksen
The Dane is again likely to be handed a free role from the left. When he’s on song, he class but he disappears too easily.
