Tottenham Fields Kolo Muani Up Front Against Arsenal
Randal Kolo Muani leads Tottenham’s attack in the Premier League clash against Arsenal, while Dominic Solanke takes a spot on the bench after feeling unwell this week.
Key Lineup Changes
Manager Tudor introduces two alterations from the side that fell 2-1 to Newcastle. Joao Palhinha replaces Wilson Odobert in midfield, marking the other switch. Recent loan arrival James Wilson earns his first bench appearance alongside Richarlison, who returns after missing seven matches due to a hamstring issue.
Tudor deploys a favored 3-4-2-1 setup. The back three features Micky van de Ven, Radu Dragusin, and Palhinha, as Cristian Romero begins the second game of his four-match suspension and Kevin Danso remains sidelined. With Pedro Porro out injured, Djed Spence shifts to the left wing-back role and Archie Gray covers the right.
Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, and Conor Gallagher anchor midfield, supporting the forward line.
Confirmed Starting XI
Tottenham’s lineup: Vicario; Dragusin, Van de Ven, Palhinha; Gray, Bissouma, Sarr, Spence; Gallagher, Simons; Kolo Muani.
Substitutes and Injuries
Subs: Austin, Rowswell, Souza, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, Tel, Richarlison, Solanke, Wilson.
Injuries plague the squad: Wilson Odobert suffered an ACL tear in the Newcastle defeat, joining James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies, Lucas Bergvall, Destiny Udogie, and Pedro Porro on the sidelines. Romero serves his suspension, while Richarlison builds fitness from the bench.
