Tottenham Hotspur team news: Injury, suspension list vs. Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur will endeavour to leapfrog bitter rivals and Premier League leaders Arsenal when the two sides do battle in Saturday's North London derby at the Emirates Stadium.

Antonio Conte's side went into the international break on the back of a 6-2 thrashing of Leicester City, during which Son Heung-min scored a 13-minute hat-trick alongside efforts from Rodrigo Bentancur, Harry Kane and Eric Dier.

The Lilywhites occupy third place in the table with 17 points to their name - one adrift of Arsenal and below Manchester City on goal difference - and they would temporarily go top of the rankings with victory at the Emirates.
