Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino hopeful over Dele Alli, Mousa Dembele fitness

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has suggested that midfielders Dele Alli and Mousa Dembele will be fit for this Saturday's North London derby against Arsenal.

Alli was dropped to the bench for Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to West Ham United, while Dembele has missed the last three games with a groin strain.

In Friday's press conference, Pochettino told reporters: "[Alli is] okay but we need to assess him too. We're happy with how he was in the last 30 mins at West Ham.

"Today's the last session and if [Dembele]'s okay then maybe he's available for tomorrow."

Spurs are currently three points behind Premier League leaders Leicester City, while Arsenal are third, three points behind Tottenham.
