North London derby swapsies: 3 is magic number for Arsenal and Spurs

Matt Haynes | November 5, 2015

As another north London derby approaches, Coral bring readers one of our special features. Here we decide which three players from both clubs that would get into the other’s team as automatic selections.

Having beaten their fierce rivals already this season in the Capital One Cup, Arsenal are odds-on favourites at 4/6 with Coral for the win and, currently joint-top of the Premier League, will be looking to keep up their impressive recent run.

Let’s take a look at which three players from the Gunners would make it into the Spurs starting lineup.

Alexis Sanchez

Simply has to be in. When at the top of his game, the Chilean is unstoppable and would slot straight into the Spurs side on the left, with Christian Eriksen alongside him. He is also just as effective in front of goal as supplying assists.

Santi Cazorla

Spurs have missed someone who can sit and dictate play since Luka Modric’s sale to Real Madrid and after Arsene Wenger moved him into a deeper role, he has been a revelation. They could do with someone in this mould at White Hart Lane this season.
