International break is finally over and Tottenham, after the loss at Newcastle, will host Arsenal tomorrow, with whom they share one of the most heated rivalries in european football. Let’s take a look on how the two teams are looking at the eve of the North London Derby…
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs can count on both Micky Van de Ven and Dominic Solanke, who have fully recovered from injuries during the international break. Yves Bissouma has suffered a groin injury on international duty, and is a major doubt for tomorrow. Rodrigo Bentancur and Archie Gray paw to get a place in midfield, in case the Malian international is sidelined. Ange Postecoglou will have to also face the absence of Richarlison: the Brazilian is “a while away”from returning from his injury, said Tottenham manager today. Following, our Tottenham predicted XI for tomorrow:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Son, Solanke, Kulusevski.
Arsenal
Arsenal in emergency in midfield: newly arrived Mikel Merino is out with a shoulder injury, same for captain Martin Odegaard, who suffered an ankle injury while on international duty with Norway; the Gunners will also miss Declan Rice, suspended after being sent off against Brighton in the last game played before the international break. Mikel Arteta who recovers Gabriel Jesus, who has fully recovered from his injury and is available for selection, and Riccardo Calafiori, who has also recovered from his calf injury. Following, our Arsenal predicted XI for tomorrow:
Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Partey, Jorginho; Havertz, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard.
