Antonio Conte's Tottenham side have drawn against Liverpool and beaten Arsenal in their last two fixtures, as the end of the season looms. Japhet Tanganga and Oliver Skipp have been out with injuries for some time, with Sergio Reguilon and Matt Doherty recently joining them and Cristian Romero also picking up a knock ahead of the North London Derby.
This meant the Italian has relied on some of his Spurs players who wouldn't necessarily be first choice if the whole squad were fit, to step up and perform in these important games. Davinson Sanchez was given the nod on Thursday, with the Argentine's injury and filled in well on the right of Tottenham's back three.
After the 3-0 victory over their close rivals, the Lilywhites now sit just a point behind Arsenal, ahead of their final two matches against Burnley and Norwich. Conte will hope none of his other players pick up injuries before those games, so Tottenham can finish in the strongest possible position.
