Alan Shearer has told BBC Sport that Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho must include Harry Kane and Gareth Bale in the starting lineup against Arsenal.
Tottenham will take on Arsenal in the North London derby this coming Sunday.
Kane and Bale started for Spurs in their Premier League game against Crystal Palace at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this past weekend.
England international striker Kane scored twice, and so did Wales international winger Bale in the 4-1 win.
Newcastle United legend and BBC Sport pundit Shearer believes that Spurs head coach Mourinho should include Kane and Bale in the starting lineup against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this coming weekend.
Shearer told BBC Sport when asked if Mourinho should keep Bale and Kane in the starting lineup against Arsenal: “Yes. I think he has to, yeah. Absolutely. Their understanding of each other. Bale said it himself it has taken a while, but they are clicking now. Why would you change that?”
Sensible idea
Some Arsenal fans are already worried about the prospect of facing Bale, who is now back in form and playing well.
A front-three of Kane, Bale and Son Heung-min could be devastating for the Gunners’ defence, who are making mistakes and appear vulnerable.
A win for Spurs in the North London derby would be massive in their quest to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
