Tottenham predicted lineup vs Arsenal today - Premier League

Tottenham are playing for much more than a top-four berth during the final month of the season; they'll also have a huge say in the Premier League title race.

Spurs face the three - maybe two by the time they take on Liverpool at Anfield - title contenders during their last six league outings and the big one is up first.

The north London derby is often unmissable and the humungous stakes are bound the add to the occasion this weekend. Arsenal visit N17 aiming to dethrone Manchester City at the summit, but they can ill afford any slip-ups the rest of the way.

Tottenham would love nothing more than to stunt their fiercest rivals' title charge, much like Everton did in the week. Spurs haven't been in action since they were battered by Newcastle on Tyneside and a key injury absence will give Ange Postecoglou plenty to consider in terms of team selection for Sunday's derby

Here's what he could opt for.

Tottenham predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-3-3)

GK: Guglielmo Vicario - A strong contender for Tottenham's Player of the Year, the Italian could prove to be a major obstacle for the Gunners on Sunday.

RB: Pedro Porro - Porro hobbled off at St James' Park two weeks ago but has had ample time to recover in time for the derby.

CB: Cristian Romero - You reckon Romero will be up for this one? The Argentine has enjoyed a stellar season and will relish the physical duel with Kai Havertz.

CB: Micky van de Ven - There's been some talk of Van de Ven shifting over to left-back, but such a move seems unlikely. After enduring his toughest Premier League outing at Newcastle, the impressive Dutchman will want to bounce back here.

LB: Ben Davies - Destiny Udogie's absence is a big blow for Spurs, but Davies is a fine deputy. He won't provide Udogie's dynamism, but he's a reliable defender.

CM: Rodrigo Bentancur - Yves Bissouma has failed to supply midfield control for months and Postecoglou has to make a change for the derby. Supreme pressers Arsenal would feast on the Mali international.

CM: Pape Matar Sarr - Sarr has oddly drifted in and out of the side in recent games but has to start on Sunday if Spurs are to cope with Arsenal physically in the middle of the park.

CM: James Maddison - It'd be a great time for Maddison to rekindle his early season form. The England international has generally been off the pace since returning from an ankle injury.

RW: Brennan Johnson - The summer arrival has emerged as an output machine in N17, benefitting from Ange's adoration of winger-to-winger combinations. He'll likely get the nod over the once-crucial Dejan Kulusevski.

ST: Son Heung-min - Son has haunted Arsenal time and time again, scoring a brace in the reverse fixture. He's undoubtedly the man Gooners fear the most.

LW: Timo Werner - This is a big month for Werner, who has so far highlighted his value in north London. Spurs will surely sign him permanently should he shine against the league's best down the stretch.
