Joe Willock – 1+ Fouls Committed
Willock plays in areas where he can get involved in Newcastle’s press and defensive transitions. With only one foul needed, a mistimed challenge as Spurs try to play through midfield could be enough to land this selection.
Conor Gallagher – 1+ Fouls Committed
Gallagher naturally plays with aggression and intensity, which makes the 1+ foul line appealing. His tendency to press, compete for second balls and engage quickly in midfield gives him several routes to commit a foul if involved.
Newcastle – Over 0 Goals
Newcastle have enough attacking threat to cause Spurs problems, and this leg only requires them to score once. With pace and direct runners in attacking areas, they should have opportunities to create chances throughout the game.
Harvey Barnes – 1+ Fouls Won
Barnes is at his best when running directly at defenders and attacking one-v-one situations. That style naturally creates opportunities to draw contact, so one foul won looks a realistic target.
Andrew Robertson – 1+ Fouls Won
Robertson’s willingness to get forward and support attacks should put him into plenty of contested situations down the flank. His movement and overlapping runs give Newcastle defenders opportunities to step across and potentially concede a foul.
