Tottenham Hotspur will clash heads with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium as they look to secure a good result in the North London derby. Spurs managed to secure an emphatic 6-2 victory over Leicester City before the international break, so they will be full of confidence ahead of this weekend’s crucial clash versus the Gunners.

Brad Friedel has suggested the starting lineup that Antonio Conte will use against Arsenal.
Defence
Hugo Lloris will function in between the sticks for the visitors if he can recover in time for this game. Conte will probably go with a back three of Cristian Romero, Eric Dier and Clement Lenglet as they try to keep the Arsenal attackers at bay throughout the 90 minutes. All three of them need to be at their best collectively if they want to keep a shutout this weekend.

Midfield
Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur will once again anchor the midfield for Spurs as they try to make life tough for the opposition and dictate the tempo of the game at the centre of the park.
Ivan Perisic will function as the left-sided wide player while Emerson Royal looks to give a good account of himself on the right flank. Conte will ask both his full-backs to contain the Arsenal wide players from causing too many problems, especially on the counter.
Attack
Heung-min Son will function as the left-sided winger following his hattrick against Leicester City as a substitute before the international break. Dejan Kulusevski will hope to catch the eye on the right flank.
Harry Kane will lead the line for Tottenham in the final third. The English striker will have to carry most of the goal-scoring burden for Spurs on his own up top.
His predicted XI: Lloris, Lenglet, Romero, Dier, Perisic, Hobjerg, Bentancur, Emerson, Son, Kane, Kulusevski
