TEAM NEWS
Newcastle XI: Pope; Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Kelly; Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton; Barnes, Isak, Gordon.
Tottenham XI:
Vicario; Pedro Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Son, Odobert.

A decent season for Tottenham would be a finish in the top six. Newcastle have wobbled a bit of late. They went down to 10 men against Southampton and could have easily lost against Bournemouth with that late disallowed goal.

I’m going to go for Tottenham to win 2-1 and I would fancy Son Heung-min to score. I watched Spurs against Leicester, they should have been 4-0 up at half time.

It was a little bit different for Son with the new guy Dominic Solanke through the middle and he kind of disappeared from view in that game. Last week he was back and he scored though.

Son likes to play with a certain type of player but whether Solanke is that kind of player remains to be seen. Solanke has to prove to the Spurs faithful that he’s good enough for the job.

He’s got injured straight away and he’s only ever had one season in the Premier League where he’s scored a decent amount of goals and he’s played a lot of games. It’s a ‘watch this space’ situation.

TEAM NEWS:
Man Utd XI: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Casemiro, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford, Zirkzee.
Liverpool XI: Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson; Gravenberch, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai; Salah, Diaz, Jota.

Manchester United’s record against Liverpool isn’t as good as it once was and they’ve signed players to stop teams coming to Old Trafford and dominating the game. I just think with United that they don’t know their best team yet which is to be expected with all the players they’ve signed.

I am going to go for 2-1 to Liverpool. I’ll go for Mo Salah to score, he’s started really well and he likes playing at Old Trafford.

Arne Slot’s new but he knows the best team and they’ll make chances. I think this is Salah’s last year at Liverpool, they’re not going to give him another mega contract.

He’ll hang on till Christmas to see but I think he’ll get a load of goals and then maybe head off to Saudi Arabia.
