Not an easy XI to predict
It's an awkward one this North London Derby, we have Mousa Dembele, Alex Pritchard, Ryan Mason and Nabil Bentaleb all out which is stretching our resources in defensive midfield.
We have Manchester City at the weekend to consider and must also take into account who has played the last three games on the trot, asking them to play five may not be wise, to that end will Alderweirelf be rested with Fazio and Wimmer playing or will Pochettino play Vertonghen? While I have picked Fazio and Wimmer I can see Vertonghen starting with Alderweireld resting this time.
Will Lloris retain his place or does Vorm get a run? Trippier and Rose will surely start while in front of them Dier has to soldier on with Alli. Carroll could perhaps play further forward in a more creative role
This is surely the time to give Njie a starting berth after two substitute appearances, Andros Townsend is experienced enough and will be motivated for the game, Christian Eriksen has only had a brief substitute appearance so perhaps he should get a game under his belt.
