Tottenham Hotspur beat Tamworth in the 3rd round of the FA Cup by 3-0. The former side have shown signs of good form in their last two games and they would like to continue that when they take onto Arsenal in the Premier League this week.
Spurs are 12th on the points table and they need to react before it gets too late. Hence, their game against the Gunners will be extremely crucial. However, it won’t be an easy fixture considering the fact that they will have to travel away to face them.
Defence
Antonin Kinsky has now kept two clean sheet in two games and he is expected to get his first Premier League start this week. Pedro Porro had a disastrous game on his last outing but he should be keeping his right-back position.
Amid multiple injuries in the defensive unit, Ange Postecoglou has no choice but to pair up Archie Gray and Radu Dragusin in the centre of the defence once again. However, Djed Spence is likely to replace Sergio Reguilon as the left-back in the lineup.

Midfield
Yves Bissouma might need some rest and his position could be grabbed by Lucas Bergvall while James Maddison and Pape Sarr continue to be deployed in the middle of the park.
Attack
Don’t be surprised if Postecoglou alters the entire attacking lineup for this fixture. Dominic Solanke, Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski are likely to come in for Timo Werner, Mikey Moore and Brennan Johnson.
Destiny Udogie (hamstring), Ben Davies (hamstring), Richarlison (hamstring), Micky van de Ven (hamstring), Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), Wilson Odobert (hamstring), Cristian Romero (thigh) and Rodrigo Bentancur (head) are all unavailable.
