Antonio Conte faces a massive decision ahead of the North London Derby on Sunday. His side go into the game just outside the top four but 11 points behind Arsenal who sit at the top of the league. In a repeat of what was a vital game in the race for the top four last season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Conte's side would love to get a result against their arch-enemies.
Spurs' results have rarely told the full story alone this season and despite spending a majority of the matchweeks sat amongst the leaders it hasn't been a smooth ride. Having spent over £150m on a raft of first team players in the summer, doing a large amount of business early - often a sign of a club in good order - the performances haven't always mirrored the pre-season optimism.
Perhaps nobody has failed to live up to the expectations more than Djed Spence. The 22-year-old signed from Middlesbrough over the summer having helped lead Nottingham Forest to Premier League promotion last season in the Championship. As a strong, technical and dynamic wingback he was seen as the perfect fit for a Conte side.
