Predicted XI: Arsenal (H)

Saturday lunchtime will see Tottenham host Arsenal in what will arguably be the most important North London Derby in the Premier League era.

Both teams are competing for the title and a win for either side could be pivotal in deciding where the league trophy resides over the summer.

Spurs head into the match having suffered a disappointing away defeat to West Ham. A win would have sent Mauricio Pochettino’s men top but instead the gap between the Lilywhites and league leaders Leicester grew to three points.

Arsenal on the other hand are in the midst of a mini-crisis at the moment. The Gunners have gone four games in all competitions without a win; losing their previous two league matches to a weak Manchester United and a relegation-threatened Swansea.

However, as has been demonstrated numerous times in the past, form goes well and truly out of the window in local derbies and the criticism Arsene Wenger’s side has come under in recent days will only spur them on to beat their North London neighbours.

Have a look at who we think Pochettino will select on Saturday here:
