Sunday’s Premier League action kicks off at White Hart Lane as Tottenham Hotspur host Newcastle United.

The hosts are unbeaten in six games in all competitions, and go in to this fixture on the back of a 2-1 victory over Sheriff in the Europa League while they were held to a goalless draw by Everton last time out in the league.

Andre Villas Boas is expected to make a whole host of changes to the side that played on Thursday, with Hugo Lloris likely to return after having been rested following his loss conscious at Goodison Park last weekend.

Danny Rose and Sandro are both side-lined, along with Emmanuel Adebayor and Nacer Chadli.

Top scorer Roberto Soldado is favourite to open the scoring at 5.5 (9/2) with Bet 365, while Gylfi Sigurdsson an 8.5 (15/2) shot with the same firm.

The home win is available at 4.33 (10/3) with Bet 365, with Newcastle a 7.0 (6/1) chance with Betfred. Paddy Power offer a market leading price of 1.6 (3/5) for the draw.

The visitors shock victory against Chelsea last weekend fired them into the top half of the table, and another three points here would see them move level with champions Manchester United.

Captain Fabricio Coloccini could return after missing the last four games with a groin injury, with Cheick Tiote also available though Steven Taylor is out.

Loic Remy is widely priced at 10.0 (9/1) to get the first goal of the game, with Papiss Cisse available at 13.0 (12/1) with Paddy Power.

Last season’s corresponding fixture ended 2-1 to Tottenham, while Newcastle won by the same scoreline when the sides met at St James’ Park last August.

All six of Spurs’ wins in the league this season have come without them conceding, and they have beaten the Geordies four times in a row in front of their own fans.

Sky Bet offer 2.62 (13/8) for a home win to nil, while you can back them to win 1-0 for what would be the sixth time in twelve league games at a price of 7.5 (13/2) with Bet 365.
