Aaron Lennon vs Nacho Monreal
Before Gareth Bale’s remarkable February, there were many Spurs fans who believed Aaron Lennon to be the club’s player of the season so far. The flying winger’s final ball has improved under Andre Villas-Boas and his work rate is nothing short of exceptional.
In Monreal, Arsenal look to have finally found a long-term solution for their troublesome left-back spot. The Spaniard is technically good and loves to get forward but looks more than capable of holding his own in the hustle and bustle of the Premier League. However, full-backs often struggle in their first encounter with the speedy Lennon and Monreal may have to curb his attacking tendencies on Sunday, or he could leave the Gunners exposed on the counter.
Advantage: Spurs
