Tottenham Hotspur will have a golden opportunity to move further above Arsenal in the Premier League table when the two sides lock horns on Saturday.
In their last league fixture at home, Spurs were in rampant form as they defeated Manchester United 2-0 through a very early opener from Christian Eriksen and an own goal from Phil Jones on a memorable day at Wembley stadium.
Despite fears of that momentum being halted at Anfield where Tottenham do not have the best record, Mauricio Pochettino’s men managed to hold Liverpool to a 2-2 draw last weekend, thanks to a last-ditch penalty kick from Harry Kane.
The mood in the Tottenham dressing room is definitely a positive one going into Saturday’s affair against local rivals Arsenal who have been easy to beat on their travels so far this season.
A victory for Mauricio Pochettino’s side will increase their chances of sneaking back into the top four of the Premier League with Chelsea appearing to have lost their form at a vital stage in the season.
Harry Kane will also be hoping to continue his outstanding form in this particular fixture after a roller-coaster show against Liverpool a week ago.
They should drop Dier for Wanyama, he’s a much more solid option who makes few mistakes, unlike Dier who makes mistakes every game. We certainly can’t afford any mistakes on Saturday.
I am a great believer in keeping a winning team providing no injuries and all players had a great game. I also agree with Anthony regarding Dier but this is not th match to make changes. He must know of his mistakes and if he looks dodgy then of course replace him.
I also will be very happy if ALDERWEIRELD is picked to play as I feel that Sanchez looked a little lost against Liverpool. I was surprised that he had no power in his heading just allowed the ball to hit his head. His passing was very poor and why oh why did he pass the ball back to Lloris when all alone just inside the the Liverpool half. This reeked of lack of confidence..
Let’s hope Pochettino has a plan B if things are going wrong and does not bron Sissoko who is useless.!
Wanyama for Dier like for like, Lamela for Dele Alli
