Arsenal vs Tottenham predicted XI: The North London Derby awaits

Centerbacks

While I’m not sure what Rob Holding has done wrong (I suspect it’s just that he’s right-footed), this centerback trio does not need to change. It’s been incredibly effective and it seems to only be getting better. After struggling to handle Adama Traore at Wolveherampton, Sead Kolasinac recovered in a big way against Leicester City and showcased what he could really do.

Shkodran Mustafi, meanwhile, has been incredible throughout. He is without a doubt our best centerback at the moment and in case you didn’t catch my proclamation, it’s time to trust him once and for all. This guy is the real deal.

Lastly, David Luiz should be holding it all together in the middle as always. While he has suffered in form a bit, he’s gradually starting to get it back and was actually quite good against Leicester. The big question against Tottenham is if he can eliminate the immense risk of individual error. As long as he doesn’t commit a mental snafu, we’re in good shape.

Wingbacks are next.
