WHO WE’D LIKE TO SIGN:

Oh god, this is tough. I would have said Hugo Lloris but we have Petr Cech now so I would have to go with Jan Vertonghen, only because we are short of centre-backs.

WHO TO BOO:

All of them!

TOTTENHAM TEAM NEWS:

Spurs will be without Nabil Bentaleb, Ryan Mason and Moussa Dembele, who are all ruled out with injury.

ARSENAL TEAM NEWS:

Santi Cazorla will be unavailable after being sent off against Chelsea over the weekend, while Francis Coquelin has a slight knee injury. Gabriel’s red card has been overturned, meaning he will be available for the game tomorrow.

Jack Wilshere is out til’ Christmas, with Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky on the treatment table as well. Per Mertesacker is a doubt, but could be risked despite recovering from the flu.

TOTTENHAM:

Lloris

Walker         Alderweireld         Vertonghen         Rose

Dier          Alli

Son          Eriksen          Lamela

Kane

ARSENAL:

PREDICTION:

It’s a North London Derby, so anything is possible – form goes out of the window for this one.

Spurs have won five of their last nine encounters against the Gunners at White Hart Lane, but Arsene Wenger’s men will be fired up for this one having lost their last two games.

I’m going to go with a 2-1 Arsenal victory, but it will be a hard-fought one.
