Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has handed Oliver Skipp his first Premier League start since January for today’s clash with Newcastle.
The midfielder comes into the Spurs team as one of five changes from the team that lost 2-0 against Manchester United at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
There is no Cristian Romero or Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the Tottenham squad due to injury. Conte says the pair will be assessed “day-by-day” ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League game against Sporting.

Tottenham confirmed XI: Lloris, Lenglet, Sanchez, Dier, Royal, Sessegnon, Skipp, Bentancur, Bissouma, Son, Kane.
