Tottenham and Arsenal name XIs for crunch north London derby
Tottenham and Arsenal have named their starting XIs for Sunday’s crunch north London derby.
Mikel Arteta called this his “most difficult period” as Gunners boss with the Emirates outfit missing Declan Rice through suspension and Martin Ødegaard because of injury.
As such Jorginho and Leandro Trossard come in to the side with Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka in attack.
