Barclays Premier League – Sunday 2 October 4 pm KO
Tottenham Pre-Match Report
North-London bragging rights will be on offer this Sunday as Tottenham welcome Arsenal to White Hart Lane. The two sides have played out some fantastic games over the years with April’s 3-3 draw still fresh in the memory. After a poor start to the season where they lost their opening two games, they have turned things round with three wins and a draw and sit sixth.
Emmanuel Adebayor is in line to face his former club but William Gallas (calf), Michael Dawson (Achilles) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) are sidelined. Steven Pienaar is available for the first time this season whilst Aaron Lennon will have a late fitness test on a groin injury.
Predicted Team: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Van der Vaart, Modric, Parker, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe.
