#4 Son Heung-Min
Son Heung-Min has been the go-to man for Antonio Conte this season. His consistency has resulted in nine goals and three assists from 19 appearances and in the Premier League this season.
Son’s explosive pace combined with his precise finishing makes him deadly on the break. The South Korean has fitted nicely in Conte’s 3-4-2-1. In fact, the last time these two sides met in the league, the 27-year-old scored the only goal to help his side win the fixture.

Tottenham are not expected to generate many chances tomorrow but if it comes to set-pieces or counters, their bet will lie with Son.
#5 Phil Foden
The English prospect is enjoying his breakout season with Manchester City this term. Foden, 21, has made 16 appearances for City this term. He has scored six goals and has assisted thrice. The versatile attacker has been deployed as a false nine or on the left flank and he has impressed with his composure in front of the goal.
Like in the case of de Bruyne, Spurs cannot afford Foden to run into. The North Londoners will be aware of the Englishman’s pace, dribbling, and finishing. With that said, it will be interesting to see how he fares against a low block if at all Conte decides to let City dominate the possession.
It will be a difficult test for Foden to penetrate a low block, as compared to someone like Bernardo Silva or de Bruyne. The two will be instrumental in providing the aerial and through balls, and make the occasional run. Having said that, Foden is likely to start as the false nine, with Grealish playing to his left.
