The midfield trio of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Yves Bissouma and the elegant Rodrigo Bentancur make up the holding midfield duo, tasked with winning the ball as soon as possible and closing the space behind.

Ivan Perisic signed from Inter Milan in the summer gets the call to play at left win-back while Matty Doherty overlooked for far too long starts only his second consecutive game for the Lillywhites.

Harry Kane has nine goals from his first 10 games of the campaign and Son Heung-min supports him in attack.

Tottenham come into the game in fine form and are third on the Premier League table, they will close the game on Arsenal to only one if they can get all three points.
