Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur: match preview

Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur
Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Mauricio Pochettino has to hope that the adage about form going out of the window on derby days rings true. Tottenham might be unbeaten in the Premier League but they have hit something of a wall in creative terms while Arsenal have goals in them and their tails up. Arsène Wenger has injury doubts over a clutch of players but he has selection headaches in a good way. The return of Harry Kane is a prominent sub-plot. David Hytner
