It will be a battle of two bitter rivals from the Northern half of London as Tottenham host Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday (January 15).

Arsenal's quest to continue their run at the top of the Premier League will undergo a massive scrutiny as they take on Tottenham in the North London Derby.

The Gunners are on 44 points after 17 games, and are on an 11-game unbeaten streak in the league. Tottenham, on the other hand, are sitting 5th in the table, 11 points behind their bitter rivals. Mikel Arteta's men will be hoping to end their winless run at Spurs as they haven't won away at Spurs since 2014.

Tottenham vs Arsenal Team News:

Tottenham will be without the services of Lucas Moura and Richarlison, who are sidelined due to Achilles and Hamstring problems respectively. Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is also doubtful with a muscle problem, while Dejan Kulusevski is set to return to the team. Spurs will be banking a lot on their talismanic skipper Harry Kane, who has netted 15 league goals so far this season.

Arsenal have injury concerns as well. The Gunners continue to be without their star striker Gabriel Jesus, who suffered a hamstring injury in the World Cup. Reiss Nelson is also expected to take no part in the action. Eddie Nketiah will be leading the line for Arsenal, with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli providing width and flair to their attack.
