Tottenham continue to struggle with scoring goals this season, and after a goalless draw against Everton last week, they will look to resume the Premier League campaign by breaking the spell against Newcastle at the White Hart Lane on Sunday.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela played in the 2-1 victory over Sheriff in mid-week, and both repaid the faith by assisting and scoring a goal, and now Andre Villas Boas may consider giving them another start against Newcastle with the hope of improving Spurs sharpness up front.

The Magpies have been enjoying an in-form striker Loic Remy, who featured in Team of the Week for the second time last week, while their 2-0 victory over Chelsea will provide them with a morale boost ahead of their trip to North London.
