Tottenham Hotspur meet Arsenal in the Premier League this afternoon as the two rivals meet for a simply huge encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham saw Aston Villa drop points at home to Chelsea on Saturday night and will be desperate to close the gap to the Champions League places.
Guglielmo Vicario starts in goal for Tottenham as usual with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven featuring as the centre backs again.
Pedro Porro is passed fit to play with Ben Davies coming in for the injured Destiny Udogie at left back.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Rodrigo Bentancur feature in midfield with James Maddison pushing forward in attacking midfielder.
Timo Werner keeps his place on the left flank with Dejan Kulusevski coming on for Brennan Johnson on the right side, flanking Son Heung-min in attack.
Richarlison is named on the bench, joining Johnson, Brandon Austin, Emerson Royal, Radu Dragusin, Yves Bissouma, Pape Matar Sarr, Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil.
