Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to maintain their good run of form when they take on Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the North London derby on Sunday evening.
Spurs will head into the match on the back of a 3-3 draw with LASK away from home in the Europa League which saw them book their place in the knockout rounds of the competition.
Jose Mourinho’s side are level on 21 points with defending Premier League champions Liverpool and just a point behind leaders Chelsea and are very much among the title challengers.
Mourinho has said that star striker Harry Kane is fit, and the England international is likely to lead the line for the home team tonight.
According to Football.London, Joe Hart could start ahead of Hugo Lloris due to fitness concerns over the French goalkeeper.
Toby Alderweireld returned to training this week after overcoming a groin problem and is likely to make his first appearance in the league since the win against Manchester City on November 21.
Gareth Bale started against LASK but did not have a good game, and the Wales international winger, signed on loan from Real Madrid in the summer of 2020, is likely to drop to the substitutes’ bench.
This is how Tottenham could line up against Arsenal in the North London derby on Sunday evening:
Predicted Tottenham Hotspur XI: Hart; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Ndombele, Son; Kane
