TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR:
Tottenham will play host to their second biggest threat Arsenal at the Wembley Stadium. Earlier Tottenham was in a bad shape but it seems like they are soon getting rid of the injury worries. Harry Kane is likely to make a comeback as he is fit again. Eric Dier has been suffering a viral infection but Delle Ali is fighting its way to being fit again. All other players had returned prior to the game against Arsenal. Although their four-matches winning streak was broken by a 2-1 defeat against Burnley, Harry Kane scored his 21st goal of the season. Apart from Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min played a vital role in defeating Leicester City and Borussia Dortmund. With the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min, Llorente and Jan Vertonghen included in the line-up, a stern performance can be expected from the host.
Probable Line-ups: Hugo Lloris; Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Danny Rose; Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks; Heung-Min Son, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli; Harry Kane.
Watch out for:
Harry Kane; Christian Eriksen; Son Heung-Min.
ARSENAL:
The Gunner’s form is quite poor may be due to the long-term absentees Hector Bellerin, Rob Holding and Danny Welbeck. They lost most recently to BATE Borisov in the Europa League but later they bounced back after a 3-0 win at home in the second leg. This clearly means that they aren’t consistent and also their away form is quite poor. Their key players involve Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who scored twice when Arsenal beat Spurs in the league. Alexandre Lacazette also scored a winning goal against Spurs earlier in this season.
Probable Line-ups: Bernd Leno; Stefan Lichsteiner, Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi, Sead Kolasinac; Lucas Torreira, Granit Xhaka; Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Aaron Ramsey, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Alexandre Lacazette.
Key Players:
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang; Henrikh Mkhitaryan; Alexandre Lacazette.
