Latest Spurs news: Walker-Peters likely to miss out against Arsenal

The Evening Standard claims that Mauricio Pochettino will have a defensive problem against Arsenal, with Kyle Walker-Peters struggling to be fit for the clash.

The right-back was substituted against Newcastle in the 1-0 loss at home, and the report claims that he is unlikely to feature at the Emirates.

The youngster picked up a hamstring issue against the Magpies and Moussa Sissoko played at right-back.

The report claims that the injury isn’t serious and Walker-Peters could return to action after the international break.

Big decisions ahead for Poch

Pochettino has to make some big decisions regarding the back-four on Sunday, with Serge Aurier possibly the replacement for Walker-Peters.

The Ivorian hasn’t played for us this season and playing him in the North London derby could be a big risk.

There are problems in the heart of the defence too. Davinson Sanchez hasn’t been at his best in the previous two games, and Jan Vertonghen will be raring to play his first game of the campaign.

The Belgian has been on the bench in the previous two games, and his experience could be the key to keeping a clean sheet.

Tottenham need to get back to winning ways, as a draw or a loss could push us further behind the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City.
