Huge injury blow
Tottenham were handed a major blow ahead of kick-off following the news that Cristian Romero had missed out on the matchday squad. Playing a pivotal role in the team's fine form since the end of February after his return from a hamstring issue, the Argentina international was not included against Arsenal due to a hip injury.
The player had in fact sustained the problem last time out against Liverpool, with Antonio Conte confirming that Romero took a hit at Anfield and hadn't recovered in sufficient time. Davinson Sanchez came into the side as a result, partnering Eric Dier and Ben Davies in the backline.
