Tottenham’s best XI after 11 Premier League matches

CB – Toby Alderweireld

Arguably the best defender in the Premier League last season, Toby Alderweireld just keeps on improving as a centre-back.

The 27-year-old was sensational for Southampton during his loan spell there in 2014/15 and, like any move, many weren’t sure whether he could produce the same level of performance at Spurs.

And, thus far, he hasn’t… he’s actually taken it up another level!

The Belgium international makes a massive difference to the Spurs defence when he is a part of it and, although they haven’t conceded too many in his absence in the last few weeks, they don’t look as convincing without him.

Alongside Vertonghen, they are the best centre-back pairing in the Premier League, and it will take some serious attacking flair to get through the Spurs backline as a result.
