The pair come in for Lewis Hall and Joe Willock, with the latter – as anticipated – not making the squad. Hall, however, is named among United’s list of substitutes.

For Anderson – influential in the run-up to Bruno Guimarães’ winning goal at Fulham last time out – it’ll be an eighth appearance in all competitions since the injury lay-off which robbed him of four months of the campaign.

As for Barnes, who also played his part in Bruno’s decider at Craven Cottage, it’s still just a fourth ever start for Newcastle at St. James’ Park, with the wide-man having had to contend with an injury-disrupted season of his own.

Dan Burn, part of an experienced-looking backline, captains Eddie Howe’s charges against Spurs.

Tino Livramento – who hasn’t figured since coming off in the 56th minute of last month’s stunning victory over West Ham at St. James’ – is included on the bench.

Newcastle United: Martin Dúbravka, Emil Krafth, Fabian Schär, Dan Burn, Jacob Murphy, Bruno Guimarães, Sean Longstaff, Elliot Anderson, Harvey Barnes, Anthony Gordon, Alexander Isak.

Substitutes: Loris Karius, Mark Gillespie, Tino Livramento, Alex Murphy, Paul Dummett, Lewis Hall, Matt Ritchie, Joe White, Ben Parkinson.
