Spurs Starting XI vs Newcastle United: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup

Spurs Starting XI vs Newcastle United: Confirmed Team News and Predicted Lineup Tottenham Team News: Omar Marmoush in Frame for Newcastle Clash Tottenham have moved quickly in the market and Roberto De Zerbi now has decisions to make ahead of the Newcastle game. The headline is simple, Omar Marmoush is available and could make his Spurs debut this weekend. The Egyptian arrived from Manchester City on Thursday in an initial loan deal with a £60 million obligation to buy at the end of the season. He was an unused substitute in City’s 2-1 win over Bournemouth last weekend, so there are no obvious mileage issues. De Zerbi’s call is tactical, whether to throw him straight in or use him from the bench. That matters because Richarlison and Dominic Solanke are both competing for minutes in the same area, and Spurs are already trying to integrate another new face. Savio, signed from City in a deal worth up to £85 million, is pushing for his first league start after scoring and assisting against Charlton in the Carabao Cup. Marmoush Debut Decision Looms De Zerbi was clear enough on availability, even if the final XI remains open. He said: “Van de Ven is right to play. We have to look, we have to understand the beginning part of the game. Like Savio, like Pedro, Marmoush is available to play, maybe also the beginning of the game. Robertson is like Udogie. Udogie is a good news for us because Udogie is very important and he played well 60 minutes, like was the plan,” In plain terms, Marmoush is fit, Porro is fit, Savio is fit, and Tottenham have options. That is useful, because the squad has already taken a few hits. Photo IMAGO Spurs Injury Update Before Newcastle Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro both got their first minutes of the season against Charlton and are in contention to start. Van de Ven is the more delicate case. His injury record has forced caution before, and there is little sense in taking risks in late August. Mohammed Kudus is also closing in on involvement and could make the bench. James Maddison, however, is expected to miss out after suffering a shoulder injury in the 3-0 defeat to Brentford. The approach there is sensible, manage the player properly and avoid another rushed return. Likely Tottenham Shape and Selection The predicted Tottenham XI reads: Kinsky, Porro, Van Hecke, Senesi, Robertson, Fernandes, Tonali, Gallagher, Savio, Richarlison, Tel. Unavailable players are Maddison, Odobert, Kulusevski and Simons. Van de Ven and Kudus remain doubts, though both are closer than they were a week ago. Kick-off is at 5.30pm BST on Saturday, August 29, 2026, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The bigger point is this, Tottenham suddenly have depth in attacking areas, and De Zerbi has enough moving parts to change both the front line and the rhythm of the side against Newcastle.
