Arsenal vs Spurs combined XI

Goalkeeper: Aaron Ramsdale

- Lloris has had a very good career but as football has evolved, the need for a ball playing keeper has as well. So in that aspect, this isn’t even a debate.

Right Back: Ben White

- Could have easily have been Tomiyasu. For Spurs? Emerson Royal? Let’s not be silly.

RCB: Cristian Romero

- Even as a Arsenal, there is no denying Cristian Romero is a excellent CB.

LCB: William Saliba

- His ball playing excellence alongside Romero would form quite the partnership.

Left Back: Kieran Tierney

- Spurs do have a good LWB in Perisic but in a back 4, Kieran Tierney was a easy one. Zinchenko is unlucky to miss out.

CDM: Thomas Partey

- Playing as a lone number 6 in a 4-3-3, Partey is the only player that’s proven he can do it. Hojberg is good but for me more of a pivot player.

RCM: Martin Ødegaard

- Adding some creativity to the midfield, there’s no denying Ødegaard’s quality on his day. Spurs lack of number 8 profiles make this pretty easy.

LCM: Granit Xhaka

- What a turnaround in fortunes. Xhaka on his current form is up there with the best & is evolving game by game. In what looked like a unnatural fit, he’s proven many wrong.

Right Wing: Bukayo Saka

- Kulusevki is a top potential player & it’s hard to leave him out. But when a ‘out of form’ Saka has the 2nd most assists in the league, then that tells you about his standard.

Centre Forward: Harry Kane

- Gabriel Jesus has been on fire this season & if he can sustain that form then we’ve got something special. But Harry Kane is a proven world class player.

Left Winger: Heung-Min Son

- His form this season may not be the Son we know, but his last game was a reminder of his quality. His ball striking is sensational.
