KIERAN TRIPPIER - RB
Mauricio Pochettino's preferred right-back for important fixtures, Trippier will almost certainly be selected over Serge Aurier for Saturday's tie.
The 27-year-old has been more creative than his Arsenal counterpart, Hector Bellerin, while proving defensively sound throughout the campaign.

DAVINSON SANCHEZ - CB
Sanchez has made Toby Alderweireld's absence considerably more bearable for Pochettino this term, making 20 appearances so far.
Only Burnley, Chelsea, and the two Manchester clubs have conceded fewer goals than Spurs this season and Sanchez's performances have been a key factor in that defensive excellence.
