TOT vs ARS: Tottenham's Strongest XI that could see them Hurt Arsenal Title Chances on Sunday

opera.com 2024/5/8

Tottenham Hotspur have turned their focus to a crucial North London derby against Arsenal this Sunday, with a potential boost in the form of Richarlison's return to the lineup.

The Brazilian forward has recovered from a knee issue during the two-week break, putting him back in contention for the upcoming clash.

Manager Pedro Porro was also a doubt after a recent injury but has since trained with the team, increasing Tottenham's options for the derby.

Unfortunately, it's not all good news for Spurs. Left-back Destiny Udogie is out for the season due to a quad injury that required surgery, dealing a blow not just to the club but also to his chances of participating in the upcoming European Championships.

Additionally, midfielder Oliver Skipp is sidelined with a knock, further limiting manager Ange Postecoglou's choices in the midfield.

The potential return of Richarlison could lead to tactical adjustments, with Son Heung-min likely moving to the left wing.

Son will aim to build on his impressive record of six goals and two assists on Sunday.

This shift might see Timo Werner making way for Richarlison, while Dejan Kulusevski could step into Brennan Johnson's position on the right flank.

Injuries continue to affect Tottenham's squad, with Manor Solomon, Fraser Forster, and Ryan Sessegnon also dealing with knee, foot, and thigh issues respectively.
