Tottenham face Arsenal in the first north London derby of the season.
Mauricio Pochettino is expected to rotate his Tottenham Hotspur side once again after Wednesday night’s Champions League victory over Inter Milan, ahead of Sunday’s north London derby at Arsenal.
Spurs travel the short distance to the Emirates Stadium in the first north London clash of the season, which sees Pochettino meet a different manager in the Arsenal dugout for the first time.
Unai Emery will be taking in his first clash against Arsenal’s main rivals since taking over from Arsene Wenger in the summer. The second is just around the corner, with the two sides going face to face in the Carabao Cup on December 19.
Danny Rose is fit again and he is likely to start over Ben Davies after the latter’s disappointing display against Inter, which drew criticism from some sections of Tottenham support on Twitter.
Serge Aurier continues to deputise for the injured Kieran Trippier, but Eric Dier is expected to return and replace Harry Winks in the middle of the park alongside on-fire Frenchman Moussa Sissoko.
In attack, Spurs are likely to revert to the front four that annihilated Chelsea last time out in the Premier League, with an attacking midfield of Christian Eriksen, Son Heung-min and Dele Alli behind Harry Kane.
Four changes in total then, with Rose, Dier, Eriksen and Son coming in for Davies, Winks, Erik Lamela and Lucas Moura.
