How Will Tottenham Line Up In Anderlecht Rematch?

Striker
Harry Kane – Always go with the hot hand. Kane is back in form and will likely be given starts against both Anderlecht and Arsenal on Sunday. Beyond the fact that he’s scored four goals in the last two games, he’s really Tottenham’s only viable option at striker.

Clinton N’jie started up top for Tottenham two weeks ago in Belgium and, plainly put, was not up to the task. The young Cameroonian doesn’t yet have the close control ball skills to get pass a tight marker or a defense that’s willing to press. Heung-min Son is back in training but likely won’t be risked, especially if there’s a chance he can play against Arsenal.
Kane gets the start then, and should hopefully continue to reclaim that remarkable linkup play he had last season with the attackers behind him, particularly Eriksen.
