Porro & Trossard start! Arsenal and Spurs name XI for NLD | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou has been able to recall Pedro Porro to his line up for the crucial clash at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium this afternoon

Tottenham play host to their bitter rivals Arsenal in one of the most important north London derbies in recent years.

The Lilywhites can land a massive blow to Arsenal’s title hopes with even a point, while they could be all but out of the race for Champions League football with a defeat in front of their home fans.

They come into the game with concerns at left-back, with both Destiny Udogie and Ryan Sessegnon set to miss the rest of the season through injury, leading to a rare start for Welshman Ben Davies.

However, Pedro Porro has been passed fit and starts at right back.

Elsewhere, Richarlison returns after injury, but is only named among the substitutes, with Postecoglou opting for Kulusevski over both the Brazilian and Brennan Johnson on the wing.

For Arsenal, Jurrien Timber’s return will have to wait, with the Dutchman not named in the squad. However, with an otherwise full-strength squad to choose from, Mikel Arteta has opted to remain unchanged from the side that thrashed Chelsea in midweek.

Here’s how the two sides line up.
