Three big names axed: This Tottenham XI will rip Arsenal to shreds
Son Heung-Min (Attacking midfield) – The mobile attacker was the only player retained from the Liverpool draw to play Newport, but that is unlikely to stop him playing again on Saturday. He has been one of Tottenham’s bright sparks in attack this season, with his goals and assists so crucial to opening up defences.
Christian Eriksen (Attacking midfield) – Rested against Newport but came on as a substitute in the second-half. The Dane has been in scintillating form for Spurs recently, and he is the man who keeps their attack ticking.
Dele Alli (Attacking midfield) – Another second-half sub against Newport, and is expected to come back into the starting line up against Arsenal. The attacking midfielder missed a golden chance against the League Two minnows, hitting the bar when clean through, but his ability to find space and create and finish opportunities makes him a dangerman.
Harry Kane (Striker) – The goal king will spearhead the attack and be the player that Arsenal most fear.
