Tottenham and Arsenal name teams for North London derby | OneFootball

Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have named their teams for Sunday’s North London Derby.

The North London rivals go head-to-head in a huge Premier League showdown at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs begin life under interim head coach Igor Tudor, who has taken the reins until the end of the campaign, following the dismissal of Thomas Frank.

Tudor’s first Tottenham team is again without suspended captain Cristian Romero. Radu Dragusin partners Micky van de Ven at centre-back. Further forward, Randal Kolo Muani is preferred to Dominic Solanke.

Arsenal will look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table to five points, with the Gunners keen to bounce back from a midweek setback at Wolves. Mikel Arteta’s side have won just two of their last seven games in the Premier League.

Arteta makes two changes to the team that drew at Molineux, with Eberechi Eze – who scored a hat-trick in the first North London derby of the season – and Leandro Trossard replacing Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke. Captain Martin Odegaard returns to the bench.
