Jamie Redknapp joins Ed Chamberlin to discuss this weekend's Super Sunday action

Harry Kane is set for a return to the Tottenham starting line-up when Newcastle visit White Hart Lane on Super Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino's side thumped Monaco 4-1 in the Europa League on Thursday to seal top spot in Group J and confirm their place in the seeded pot for Monday's round of 32 draw.

Live Ford Super Sunday

In the Premier League, Spurs, who are three points off fourth spot, are unbeaten since the opening day of the season but will be hoping to get back to winning ways after back-to-back draws against Chelsea and West Brom.

Newcastle got back on track last weekend with a 2-0 victory over Liverpool at St James' Park.

However, Steve McClaren's side will now be looking to improve an away record which has seen them win just once in seven matches on the road this season.

Eric Dier is available after he was taken off in the first half against Monaco but only as a precaution, while Kane is set to return to action after sitting out the match on Thursday.

Meanwhile, McClaren will select from the same squad as he did for last weekend's victory over Jurgen Klopp's side.

The Newcastle boss has no new injury problems and has Jamaal Lascelles (hamstring) back in training. The defender is expected to be joined by midfielders Cheick Tiote (groin) and Rolando Aarons (foot) within days.

However, McClaren is still without goalkeeper Tim Krul (knee ligaments), defenders Steven Taylor, Mike Williamson (both hamstring) and Massadio Haidara (knee cartilage), midfielder Gabriel Obertan (hamstring) and striker Emmanuel Riviere (knee).

Paul Merson's prediction

It just shows how ruthless this league can be sometimes. Newcastle beat Liverpool and then have to go to White Hart Lane, against a Spurs side who have lost just once.

Who is the magic man tipping this weekend?

But I think Spurs are getting into that mould at the moment, maybe a tad tired, and they look to be going out with the attitude of making sure they don't lose the game before they go out to win the game.

Newcastle's result was phenomenal, but I do expect Spurs to win this, they are a good side with in-form players. They need to break down the brick wall here after two draws.
