Tottenham’s 3rd game of the season comes against Newcastle on Sunday at 4:30pm and it’s one that the Lilywhites will be desperate to get three points and a few goals from considering the Toon’s form. Indeed, they may get to see one of their exciting youngsters in the clash.
Our U23s are set for #PL2 action against @dcfcofficial at Hotspur Way this lunchtime (KO 12pm). We'll bring you live goal updates as usual.

The Tottenham U23s took on their Derby County equivalents and fell to a 2-1 loss, their first loss of the season. However, both Troy Parrott and Japhet Tanganga were absent from the squad and it’s given the fans an idea that the pair could be used in the senior side this weekend.
It would be a surprise to see either feature from the start if they were included, but both proved during pre-season that they have what it takes to hold their own in a Tottenham side at a good level as they featured against the likes of Real Madrid and Juventus, with Football.London complimentary about their performances.

The Lilywhites seem quite open to the idea of their youngsters in the senior side, even if they don’t get many minutes.
