Tottenham Hotspur take on Arsenal in the Premier League this weekend.

And Pochettino will be expecting his team to pull up their socks after a dismal show vs Chelsea on Wednesday.

The Lilywhites lost their London Derby to Chelsea 2-0 and for the first time this season, Spurs looked rattled as they failed to come up with an answer for Sarri’s tactics.

Spurs news vs Arsenal:





Here’s are all the injuries that Pochettino will have to deal with before Saturday’s clash vs Arsenal:

Dele Alli: The England international is out with a hamstring injury and he is not expected to be available for the North London Derby.

Eric Dier: The midfielder is suffering from tonsilitis and will miss the game vs Arsenal.




Jan Vertonghen: Vertonghen missed the game vs Chelsea due to a hip injury but reports suggest that he should recover in time.




Possible changes to the first XI: Danny Rose started on the bench vs Chelsea but the left-back should replace Ben Davies on Saturday.

If Vertonghen does return then Pochettino will revert to his preferred back-three meaning Trippier and Rose will play as wing-backs.

Eric Lamela should also drop down to the bench which means Son and Harry Kane will play up front.



Spurs news: Lilywhites’ predicted XI vs Arsenal





First XI: Lloris, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Tripper, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Son, Harry Kane.
