Tottenham Hotspur FC news: Replacing Walker is going to be tough, says Trippier

Kieran Trippier admits ousting Kyle Walker as Tottenham’s first choice right-back will be a formidable task even after his outstanding display against Watford.

Walker's suspension meant Trippier was handed his first Premier League start of the season and he took his chance by creating two goals for Harry Kane in Spurs' 4-1 victory at Vicarage Road.

Dele Alli scored two more either side of half-time before Younes Kaboul added a late consolation.

Walker, however, will be available again for Wednesday's visit of Chelsea and the expectation is Trippier will again find himself on the bench at White Hart Lane.
