2. Walcott vs Vertonghen
Arsenals form player at the moment, Theo Walcott will be raring to go against the Gunners rivals after his brace in the corresponding fixture last season. He will come up against one of Tottenhams new summer signings, Jan Vertonghen, who was linked with Arsenal for a long time before swapping Amsterdam for White Hart Lane. Walcott has really proven himself to be a serious asset over the past few games, scoring a hat-trick against Reading, and a Champions League goal against Schalke. His unrivalled speed will cause constant concern to Tottenham, and its up to their Belgian left back to muffle his attacking forays as much as possible. Vertonghen himself has made a statement so far in the Premier League, scoring a couple of goals and showing himself to be a great athlete and defender.
Verdict: You just cannot choose between these two players, Walcotts sheer pace versus Vertonghens physical presence and defensive pedigree, an even match.
