Tottenham Hotspur now return to Barclays Premier League action with a mouth watering North London derby against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday November 8, kick-off 4pm.

With Tottenham preparing for the visit of Belgian goliaths, Anderlecht, for this Europa League match, we chose to predict potential line-ups of the two sides. “We have to show them who we are and we need to show our supporters at White Hart Lane that we can get the three points and take a big step towards reaching the next round”.
The miss gave Anderlecht hope and the visitors equalised five minutes later through substitute Imoh Ezekiel.
Tottenham and England winger Andros Townsend could be about to leave White Hart Lane, after having a row on the pitch with a fitness coach that has angered the normally calm Mauricio Pochettino.
Heung-min Son has had to settle for a place on the bench.
With momentum firmly behind Anderlecht, Spurs feared a repeat of their 2-1 defeat in the reverse fixture. Kane looks confident and back to his best – and that can only be a good thing for Spurs and England.
Anderlecht had previously had Tottenham on the back foot, but a fine move involving Ryan Mason and Christian Eriksen opened them up, and Kane did the rest as Spurs finished the half strongly.
Sure, four of Anderlecht’s shots were on target and the rest were either off target, blocked or saved, however that kind of pressure came to haunt Spurs at an inopportune time.
“We are in a good position in the table”.
Kane was getting little joy in attack, and compensated by dropping deep and showing his team-mates how to tackle, before he opened the scoring against the run of play in the 29th minute.
Okaka was then allowed to collect a high ball and held off Toby Alderweireld as the ball was worked to Steven Defour, who sent a fizzing effort at goal, with Hugo Lloris diving to tip it over.
Since losing to Anderlecht, Tottenham won their next two domestic league games by a combined score of 8-2.
