Tottenham team vs Arsenal: Lloris, Kane, Alderweireld and Lo Celso start in north London derby

Jose Mourinho has got a number of his Tottenham Hotspur players back and ready to face Arsenal in the north London derby on Sunday.

Mourinho had injury doubts this week in Harry Kane, Sergio Reguilon, Carlos Vinicius and Toby Alderweireld, while Erik Lamela remains out with an Achilles injury.

Kane, Reguilon and Alderweireld all return to the starting line-up with Vinicius on the bench.

There had also been fitness concerns over skipper Hugo Lloris, who missed the Europa League win at Ludogorets last week through illness, returned for the draw at Chelsea in the Premier League and then did not fly out with the squad to Austria for the draw at LASK.

Joe Hart has been preparing in case he had to start his first Premier League match since December 2018 on Sunday, but Lloris is back to start the match.

Tanguy Ndombele is not in the squad, with Giovani Lo Celso starting in his place.

Mourinho has gone for Steven Bergwijn over Gareth Bale and Lucas Moura on the right of the attack.

The Spurs boss has started the Dutchman in recent big games in the Premier League, trusting his ability to work hard at both ends of the pitch.

Here is the team Mourinho has chosen to face Arsenal:

(4-2-3-1) Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Lo Celso, Son; Kane. Subs: Hart, Davies, Rodon, Winks, Bale, Lucas, Vinicius.
