How Tottenham Hotspur could line up against Arsenal

How Spurs could line up against Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspur are set to be boosted by the return of Richarlison for their North London derby clash with Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.

The two-week pause in competitive action for the Lilywhites has allowed the Brazil international to recover from a troublesome knee issue, with the attacker training all week.

The same can be said for Pedro Porro, who was initially a doubt for this fixture after picking up an injury during the 4-0 defeat at Newcastle United on April 13.

On a sourer note, Ange Postecoglou will be without the services of left-back Destiny Udogie, who has undergone surgery for a season-ending quad injury - one which is set to keep the Italian out of this summer's European Championships.

The Lilywhites' midfield options are restricted by the absence of academy graduate Oliver Skipp, with the Englishman picking up a knock in training this week, ruling him out of the clash with Mikel Arteta's title chasers.

The potential return of Richarlison to the XI would see Son Heung-min move onto the left wing for the hosts, with the South Korean looking to add to his tally of six goals and two assists in North London derbies.

In the eventuality of a position switch for Son, Timo Werner would likely drop out of the side to make room, with Dejan Kulusevski a candidate to take Brennan Johnson's spot on the right flank.

Manor Solomon (knee), Fraser Forster (foot) and Ryan Sessegnon (thigh) will be keeping Udogie company in the Spurs medical room for the remainder of the campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison
