Tottenham XI vs Arsenal: Predicted lineup, confirmed team news and injury latest for Premier League game | OneFootball

Ange Postecoglou has decisions to make ahead of north London derby

Ange Postecoglou is facing a decision in his midfield for Wednesday's north London derby after Lucas Bergvall's match-winning display for Tottenham against Liverpool last week.

With Dejan Kulusevski likely to start in the front three, Bergvall is competing for three spots in the middle with Pape Matar Sarr, Yves Bissouma and James Maddison.

The Swede was the only one of the four not the start not to start the 3-0 FA Cup third-round win at Tamworth on Sunday, meaning he should be fresh to return to the XI against out-of-form Arsenal.

Brennan Johnson and Timo Werner are expected to drop out of the Spurs side after struggling to make an impact against part-timers Tamworth over the weekend.
