Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Predicted line-ups and latest news

The focal point of the 35th round of the English Premier League will be the North London Derby. Arsenal will travel to face Tottenham.

Tottenham showcased excellent results at the start of the season, maintaining an unbeaten streak and leading the league table. However, after a crushing defeat to Chelsea in November, the team entered a downward spiral, and they are currently competing for European qualification. Aston Villa holds the fourth spot, the last one in the Champions League zone, with a six-point lead over Spurs, although Postecoglou's side has played two fewer matches.

Heading into the round, Arsenal leads the league table, edging out Manchester City by one point, though the Citizens have played one match less. Many pundits speculate that Liverpool has exited the championship race this season, leaving the Gunners and Pep Guardiola's proteges as the main contenders for the title. With each passing round, the competition intensifies, and every point holds significant value.

Both teams approach the match with minimal casualties. Tottenham will be without defender Destin Udogie, who is recovering from a thigh injury. Arsenal, meanwhile, continues to miss Yurrien Timber, who is still recovering from a knee injury sustained last summer.

Before the match, Tottenham confirmed the possibility of their key player, Son Heung-Min, participating in the derby at their home stadium for the first time. Additionally, Spurs' head coach, Ange Postecoglou, mentioned that Pedro Porro and Richarlison have trained during the week and may be available for selection.

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, also commented on the return of players from the infirmary:

"Yes, the availability of players will be crucial. It's true that, except for Yurrien, we will be very close to having all players available, which is a huge boost. It raises the level of training, competition among players, and selecting the right lineup can change the game. It's something truly important."

Both teams will exert maximum effort in the battle for points, and undoubtedly, the coaches will deploy their strongest players.
