Newcastle are without without Emre (calf), James Milner (foot) and Stephen Carr (hamstring) for the game today at White Hart Lane.
Claudio Cacapa is also out after news this week that the Brazilian will be missing for at least a month having picked up another groin strain in training.
But as expected, Kevin Keegan fields an unchanged side for the 3rd game in a row at White Hart Lane this afternoon. Damien Duff comes in as a substitute in place of Charles N’Zogbia.
For Spurs Ledley King is rested and Michael Dawson partners Jonathan Woodgate in the center of their defense.
TEAMS:
Tottenham Hotspur: Paul Robinbson, Alan Hutton, Jamie O’Hara, Michael Dawson, Jonathan Woodgate, Darren Bent, Tom Huddlestone, Didier Zokora, Steed Malbranque, Robbie Keane (c), Dimitar Berbatov
Subs: Radek Cerny, Pascal Chimbonda, Teemu Tainio, Adel Taarabt, Aaron Lennon
Newcastle United: Steve Harper, Habib Beye, Jose Enrique, Abdoulaye Faye, Steven Taylor, Geremi, Nicky Butt, Joey Barton, Michael Owen (c), Mark Viduka, Oba Martins
Subs: Fraser Forster, David Edgar, Alan Smith, Andy Carroll, Damien Duff
Referee:Â Steve Bennett

Comment #45We’re playing much better lately, but what are we missing? Is it speed througout the team? Quicker, crisper passing?

Comment #46We are playing much better even though we’re loosing, more confident and passing well at times. Still alot to improve though.

Comment #48Geremi needs to be dropped from taking free kicks as badly as Martins needs to drop that hair do.

Comment #57Crap. My sopcast just imploded.
wait… it’s back. Still slow lumbering passing though. Is that us being slow and lame or is Tottenham effing us up through the midfield somehow?

Comment #61we need Owen upfront. He is co-ordinating play well from the mid, but that is not his strength. Good touches but that is a role for Barton, Geremi and Butt

Though, yes, it did get interrupted around 39 mins, maybe and was blank for a few nervous minutes.
