Tottenham v Arsenal: Who has the edge at each position? Position by position breakdown of the NLD
Aaron Ramsey v Erik Lamela
Arsenal will really miss Theo Walcott if he doesn’t recover quickly enough to start this match. You know the pacy winger wants nothing more than to torment his North London rivals.
Fortunately, Aaron Ramsey is there to take Walcott’s place in the starting XI. It’s not as if Wenger has to rely on an unproven commodity on the right wing.
Tottenham fans are hoping that Erik Lamela recovers from a slight hip injury in time to start the match. At the time of this writing, most expect that he’ll be fit and ready to go. If he isn’t, it’s going to cause serious issues for Pochettino.
Assuming he starts, he provides Spurs an excellent weapon to use against their rivals. He’s fully capable of scoring a goal and also can assist the Tottenham defense. He’s a terrific two-way winger that has the talent and drive to turn this match in favor of his club.
