Pedro Obiang: Available to play against Spurs

Obiang (thigh) is available to play in Sunday's fixture with Tottenham Hotspur.

Analysis:

Obiang has not played since getting eight minutes of run against Chelsea on Oct. 24 and then injuring himself in training ahead of the team's next match. The holding midfielder has seen his playing time come in fits and starts this season, getting three starts by the middle of September, but since his last start on Sep. 19, he's played in just two matches, going for a total of 41 minutes. Even if he is healthy, it's unclear as to what his role will be in the side moving forward.
