Tottenham right-back Matt Doherty feels his rivalry with Serge Aurier is making them both better players.
Doherty was brought in from Wolves during the summer and has battled with Aurier to become Jose Mourinho's first-choice right-back.
Aurier appears to be winning that race at the minute, having been selected in the Premier League team, though Doherty has been getting plenty of action as well.
The Republic of Ireland international will be on standby to play against Crystal Palace on Sunday as Aurier has been struggling with a knock.
