In this match against Tottenham, coach Ralph Hasenhüttl should keep the 4-3-3 with Nathan Redmond, Theo Walcott and Armando Broja the team’s most offensive references.

For this game the coach cannot count on Alex McCarthy, Adam Armstrong, Fraser Forster and Stuart Armstrong, all with physical problems.

Heung-min Son is the player who deserves the individual highlight on this team, as he has scored 8 goals so far. For this game, the visiting coach is without Cristian Romero and Ryan Sessegnon, both with physical problems.
