Mauricio Pochettino has named Harry Kane and Dele Alli in Tottenham’s starting line-up for today’s north London derby with Arsenal.
The England duo missed the recent international friendly matches against Germany and Brazil, but have been deemed fit enough to start today’s game. Harry Winks, who also missed those matches, is named among the substitutes.
Elsewhere, Hugo Lloris - who missed their last match against Crystal Palace – returns in goal.
Arsenal fans will be buoyed by Alexandre Lacazette’s inclusion in their starting line-up.
The club’s record signing has started on the bench for clashes against Liverpool and Manchester City this season, and came on to score the consolation goal in the recent 3-1 defeat at the Etihad.
The France international will be supported in attack by Mesut Ozila and Alexis Sanchez from the start for only the third time since his arrival in the summer.
Elsewhere, Arsenal's defensive line is strengthened by the return of Shkodran Mustafi.
