Line Up: Spurs v Arsenal – Kulusevski returns to the side

Antonio Conte has named his Tottenham Hotspur side which will take to the field in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Arsenal.

Tottenham have had to heavily rely on inspired second half performances this season to grind out results, something which the home supporters will certainly not be prepared to accept today.

Dejan Kulusevski returns to the starting eleven following his hamsting problems, while Richarlison is fit enough for the bench. Frustratingly, Rodrigo Bentancur has failed to make the squad.

This is who takes to the field under the lights in N17 this afternoon:
