Tottenham predicted team vs Arsenal: Mourinho makes big decision at right-back and Bale starts

Jose Mourinho will be looking to lead Tottenham Hotspur to their first Premier League victory at the Emirates Stadium in more than 10 years on Sunday.

Mourinho 's team are in good form right now and are looking to make it six victories on the bounce in all competitions when they take on the north London derby.

The Portuguese has a good record against Arsenal and he will be hoping to break Spurs ' woeful record when travelling down the road to face the Gunners will be a factor.

Mourinho has everyone available to him apart from Giovani Lo Celso who has a back problem and is a doubt for the match.

One key choice for the Spurs boss will be who he selects at right-back with Serge Aurier now back from his calf problems and Matt Doherty improving his form in recent weeks.

Mourinho told football.london ahead of the game that it was an "amazing" battle between the two players to get the nod for the match.

Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele both picked up little kicks and knocks on Thursday night in the Europa League victory against Dinamo Zagreb but Mourinho said that he expected both would be fine to face the Gunners.

Sergio Reguilon, Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura are expected to return to the starting line-up in order to provide pace for the counter-attacks.

The team is likely to closely resemble the one that overcame Crystal Palace 4-1 last weekend with that right-back decision the main bone of contention.

Here is the team we reckon Mourinho will go for:

4-2-3-1: Lloris; Aurier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Ndombele; Bale, Lucas, Son; Kane.
