Early Tottenham predicted XI v Arsenal as Ange Postecoglou changes his front four

Tottenham are back in action with a bang this weekend as they take on north London rivals Arsenal in a huge game.

Ange Postecoglou’s side have had a very Tottenham start to the season having won one, drawn one, and lost one.

That sort of inconsistency is what costs them every season and they are already playing catch up to the likes of Liverpool and Man City, who have won all three games comfortably.

Of course, a big win over Arsenal is a real way for Tottenham to get their season ticking along and Postecoglou would love nothing more than to get a big win in a NLD.

To do that, Postecoglou needs to ensure he’s picking the right first XI and after the international break, he could have some tricky decisions to make.

Dominic Solanke is set to return after his minor injury, while the likes of Brennan Johnson and Lucas Bergvall will be hoping for more minutes after their fine cameos at Newcastle.

For Tottenham, then, it could be a season defining selection.

With Solanke back in the mix, that immediately means one of the attacking midfielders will need to drop out of the XI.

At the moment, you’d suggest that either James Maddison or Dejan Kulusevski are the prime candidates to make way, albeit Wilson Odobert could also miss out.

But with Kulusevski impressing on international duty for Sweden and grabbing an assist as well, you do feel the £25m signing from Juventus could get the nod.

That leaves it between Odobert and Maddison and with Kulusevski shining as a ten for Sweden, Englishman Maddison could get the chop.

Here, then, is TBR’s predicted XI as Tottenham prepare to welcome Arsenal to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
