Team News
Tottenham
The best news that Tottenham fans could hear before a North London derby has been delivered, with Swedish attacker Dejan Kulusevski back in training after a muscular problem, and the Juventus loanee will surely start over Bryan Gil - impressive in his own right - if he is fit enough.
Rodrigo Bentancur's participation is more uncertain, though, and the derby is also expected to come too soon for Richarlison and Lucas Moura, but Yves Bissouma should shake off a minor ankle injury which kept him out of the FA Cup win over Portsmouth.
Bissouma and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg should be tasked with manning the midfield if Bentancur misses out once more, while Kane - the highest goalscorer in North London derby history - could net for the 15th time against Arsenal after crashing home a penalty in the Emirates defeat this season.
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Doherty, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
Arsenal
Over at the Emirates, there has been little movement in the Arsenal treatment room recently, with only Jesus (knee) and Reiss Nelson (thigh) on the sidelines after Emile Smith Rowe returned from groin surgery against Oxford in the FA Cup.
Smith Rowe's cameo appearance was his first in an Arsenal jersey since September, and the 22-year-old found the net when Tottenham visited the Emirates in September 2021, but he is sure to only play a part from the bench again as Gabriel Martinelli returns to a recognisable Arsenal XI.
Aaron Ramsdale, Thomas Partey and Martin Odegaard were all given the night off against Oxford, where Bukayo Saka limped off in front of concerned Arsenal supporters, but Arteta affirmed that the 21-year-old - who created five chances against Spurs earlier this term - was "fine".
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 Arsenal
