Leicester

Ruled out: Fofana and Justin.

~ Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on (Cavani)

Newcastle

Ruled out: Wilson, Willock, Lascelles, Dubravka, Shelvey and Dummett.

“Joe (Willock)’s was a complete fluke. He kicked the ground and damaged his toe. He’ll not make it this week and it’ll be touch and go for next week as well. Jamaal (Lascelles)’ is a muscle injury. He tried yesterday but it was no good so it’ll be a couple of weeks.”

Might play: Walcott.

“We have now with Jack (Stephens) a player who is long out, 10 to 12 weeks maybe, so we need every centre-back. A long-term injury is always a blow to us. The tendon on the knee is disrupted, so it’s a tendon injury. It takes, I don’t know how long, but it will take time.”

Spurs
