Will Tottenham’s Toby Alderweireld face Arsenal?
Tottenham Hotspur are determined to win silverware this season and Arsenal stand in their way.
Spurs travel to The Emirates in December for the Carabao Cup quarter-finals, days after facing them in the Premier League.
Davinson Sanchez and Juan Foyth started Tottenham’s last 16 win over West Ham.
Alderweireld is hoping to feature, which spells bad news for teammate Foyth.
The Belgian told SkySports: “They are very special, historical games, more than just a Premier League game.
“I feel fortunate to play those games and to be a part of it and looking forward to it very much.”
Tottenham cannot take Arsenal lightly, and both sides will have to pick strong sides so not to get caught out in a big match.
Alderweireld added: “The next step is silverware and we are doing the best we can to achieve that.”
There is a place in the last four up for grabs, with bragging rights essential.
Alderweireld’s comments mean young star Foyth could be back on the bench.
Jan Vertonghen is expected to return to training in early December and could also be an option if Mauricio Pochettino chooses to play Tottenham’s strongest side.
