Spurs head coach Ange Postecoglou has named his side which will take to the field in this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham have plenty of motivation heading into the North London derby and will be relishing the prospect of derailing Arsenal‘s title hopes if they stop the Gunners from taking all three points from the encounter.
Destiny Udogie has already been ruled out for the rest of the season with a muscular injury which required surgery, with Ben Davies coming in to fill the place of the Italian on the left-hand side of the defence.
Spurs will have had 15 days off since the disappointing 4-0 defeat at Newcastle United while the Gunners have played three matches during the same period.
With Aston Villa having drawn with Chelsea last night, Tottenham need to realistically win to keep their hopes of a top four finish alive.
Tottenham have gone 12 Premier League home games without a clean sheet, their longest run since September 2003 and have kept just two clean top flight sheets at home – only Burnley and Sheffield United have fewer.

Arsenal, however, have never kept a clean sheet in consecutive league visits to Spurs; annoyingly they won this fixture 2-0 last season.
