Tottenham goes into this weekend’s London derby in high spirits after their unbeaten Premier League run with the added joy that Arsenal suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Bayern Munich mid-week while Spurs beat Anderlecht 2-1 to go top of their Europa league group.
The Tottenham injury list is slowly starting to ease with only Alex Pritchard and Nacer Chadli injured for the clash although Bentaleb is now available but is lacking match fitness and will likely be on the bench. Danny Rose and Clinton N’Jie picked up knocks in the last few matches but they are both expected to return and Rose could slot straight in at left-back.
Arsenal, on the other hand, have injuries starting to mount with Bellerin and Koscielny being the latest players set to miss out meaning Joel Campbell is likely to keep his place in the squad.
With confidence being high, Tottenham will be hoping to carry on their magnificent Premier League form and close the gap to the North-London rivals.
