Team News and Confirmed Starting Lineups

Tottenham and Arsenal will go head-to-head in the north London derby in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon in a huge clash for both sides.

Spurs will see Igor Tudor in charge for the first time since he replaced Thomas Frank as manager, with the club currently just four points above the relegation zone and desperate to create a bigger gap. Mikel Arteta’s side, on the other hand, currently sit just two points above Man City at the top of the table following their shock 2-2 draw with Wolves in midweek.

Both sides have some injury issues heading into the game, and this is how GIVEMESPORT expects the teams to line up.
