Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur travel to fierce North London rivals Arsenal on Sunday with a point to prove after last weekend's disappointing defeat at home to Newcastle United.

The Lilywhites dominated possession against Steve Bruce's Magpies but just could not create enough to break down the side from the North-East's stubborn resistance.

Mauricio Pochettino's side have had a mixed start since breaking their transfer record in the summer, having won one, drawn one and lost one this season.

Defeat to adversaries Arsenal could put the disgruntled Pochettino under pressure going into the international break.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest injury and suspension news for the side from N17.

Hamstring injuries have been a nuisance for Dele Alli over the last 12 months, but the England international could be in line to return against Arsenal on Sunday. Whether or not Pochettino will feel able to thrust the 23-year-old straight into the starting lineup for such an important game, however, is a different matter.

Argentina international Juan Foyth looked a strong contender to start the season at right-back before an ankle injury picked up against Bayern Munich in pre-season ruled him out. The 21-year-old won't return until late September at the earliest.

The England youth international is very unlikely to feature against Newcastle.
