Tottenham face Arsenal on Saturday in the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino has plenty of decisions to make when picking his Tottenham Hotspur starting eleven to face Arsenal in Saturday’s north London derby – and fans want him to pick Kieran Trippier ahead of Serge Aurier.
Summer signing Aurier has been chosen over England international Trippier during Spurs’ last two Premier League outings, which have resulted in a win over Crystal Palace and a loss to Manchester United.
Ivory Coast international Aurier, 24, has impressed since his move to north London from Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain, but Trippier’s performance against Real Madrid caught the eye as he kept Cristiano Ronaldo quiet.
Now, Pochettino has a huge decision to make on the right side of his defence ahead of Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off, as he looks to continue Spurs’ impressive recent run against the Gunners.
Spurs have lost just once to Arsenal in the last seven meetings between the two clubs, and they will be confident of another victory as they sit four points and three places above Arsene Wenger’s side in third with 23 points.
Tottenham fans have attempted to persuade Pochettino to start 27-year-old Trippier against the Gunners, with one fan claiming the former Burnley ace is “sound defensively” but “as good at going forward”.
