Tottenham travel to St James’ Park on Sunday afternoon with both sides looking for their second win of the season as they look to continue their push for European football.
Postecoglou’s side are without any recognised striker with all of Dominic Solanke, Richarlison and Will Lankshear ruled out, which means that Heung-Min Son has moved into a central position once more, while exciting summer signing Wilson Odobert is handed another start.
But there is a major shock in defence as Micky van de Ven misses out, with Radu Dragusin handed a rare start in his place.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United are without a whole host of players. Fabian Schar is suspended, while Jamal Lascelles and Sven Botman remain sidelined with knee injuries. Also absent are Lewis Miley (Ankle), Callum Wilson (back) and Martin Dubravka (head).
However, Sandro Tonali returns to the squad, with summer signing William Osula also among the substitutes.
