We expect Antonio Conte to make four changes for the trip to the Emirates compared to the team that took to the field against Leicester City ahead of the international break.

The North London derby on Saturday looks set to be an absolute cracker, with just a point separating Arsenal in first place with Tottenham in third, heading into the match.

The game will serve as an acid test of the credentials of the two clubs to keep pace with Manchester City this season.

The clash at the Emirates is undoubtedly the biggest test of the season so far for Antonio Conte’s men, who are still unbeaten in the Premier League this campaign.

Spurs have a couple of injury doubts heading into the clash, with Ben Davies and Hugo Lloris both recovering from injuries (Football.London).

If both players are passed fit to take the field, we at The Spurs Web expect Antonio Conte to make four changes to the team that beat Leicester City 6-2. 

We believe Son Heung-min, Emerson Royal, Cristian Romero and Ben Davies will come back to the team in place of Dejan Kulusevski, Ryan Sessegnon, Davinson Sanchez and Clement Lenglet.

Here is our expected starting lineup for Saturday’s clash: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Richarlison, Son, Kane.

Spurs Web Opinion

Son is nailed on to start after his hattrick against Leicester, with the only question being who he will replace – Richarlison or Kulusevski. I personally would like to see Kulusevski start but I expect Conte to give the Brazilian the nod.

Some Spurs fans might be expecting that Italian to start with a 3-5-2 on the back of how well the formation worked in the last 30 minutes against Leicester. However, given the firepower we have upfront, I believe Conte will stick with a 3-4-3.
