'Ndombele?' - Tottenham fans have one big question as Jose Mourinho names his Arsenal XI

Tottenham Hotspur supporters have been reacting to Jose Mourinho's team selection for the huge north London derby clash with Arsenal.

Spurs welcome the Gunners to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - where 2,000 fans will be in attendance for the first local derby of the season between the two sides.

Mourinho has picked his team for the clash, and despite some strong rumours that Hugo Lloris would not be fit enough to feature for the hosts, the Frenchman does start in goal.

Of course, the Spurs boss has named plenty of changes from Thursday evening's 3-3 draw with LASK in the Europa League - eight in total.

North London Derby Preview

Lloris, Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Eric Dier, Sergio Reguilon, Moussa Sissoko, Steven Bergwijn and Harry Kane all come in for the home side.

Here is the full line-up: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Lo Celso, Bergwijn, Son, Kane.

Tanguy Ndombele has not been included in the matchday squad, which left some supporters confused.

However, the inclusion of Lloris has left supporters optimistic going into the derby, with reports in the build-up that he could be set to miss out on the match.

Here's how a selection of Spurs fans reacted to Mourinho's team news ahead of kick-off.

If Tottenham can beat the Gunners, they will climb back to the top of the Premier League table following Chelsea's 3-1 win over Leeds United last night.

Liverpool face Wolverhampton Wanderers after the Spurs and Arsenal clash, meaning the Reds will be hoping for a slip-up from Mourinho's men in the game before.

The Gunners could move to 11th-place with a win against their arch rivals.
