Jamie O’Hara has picked four Newcastle United players in a combined Tottenham Hotspur line-up. A challenging trip to North London is Eddie Howe’s next challenge as Toon boss, with April’s 5-1 defeat still fresh in the memory.
Fabian Schar put Newcastle in front that day but a second-half capitulation saw Spurs run riot on home soil. On paper, this weekend poses the Magpies’ trickiest test so far in 2022-23 as Antonio Conte has Tottenham third in the Premier League and boasting a 100% home record.
Ahead of the clash, former Spurs midfielder O’Hara has discussed which Newcastle players would get into Conte’s side. Interestingly, there was no mention of Toon talisman Bruno Guimaraes - arguably United’s most influential player - but Joelinton, Kieran Trippier, Joe Willock and Allan Saint-Maximin made the cut.
