Tottenham vs Arsenal - Premier League LIVE: Latest score, team news and updates as Igor Tudor takes charge of Spurs in high-stakes North London Derby

Arsenal make two changes after that disastrous draw at Wolves in midweek.

Eberechi Eze comes into midfield, with Leandro Trossard also in the starting XI.

Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli drop to the bench.

**(4-2-3-1)**: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Rice, Zubimendi; Saka, Eze, Trossard; Gyokeres

**SUBS**: Kepa, Mosquera, Odegaard, Jesus, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Calafiori, Lewis-Skelly

It seems an age since Thomas Frank's final game in charge almost two weeks ago when Tottenham were beaten 2-1 at home by Newcastle.

Igor Tudor makes two changes in his first match as Randal Kolo Muani and Joao Palhinha replace the injured Wilson Odobert and Dominic Solanke, who drops to the bench.

**(4-3-3)**: Vicario; Gray, Dragusin, van de Ven, Spence; Bissouma, Palhinha, Gallagher; Sarr, Kolo Muani, Simons

**SUBS**: Austin, Richarlison, Tel, Solanke, Souza, Wilson, Olusesi, Williams-Barnett, Rowsell

The North London Derby is never quiet, but few in recent years have had as much significance as this one.

On the one hand, Igor Tudor takes charge of his first game as manager of Tottenham as he attempts to take them away from relegation trouble - a statement that would have seemed ridiculous to write at the start of the season.

For Arsenal this match could be pivotal in their title push after the Gunners' lead at the top of the table was cut to just two points following Man City's win over Newcastle on Saturday.

After drawing to Brentford and Wolves over the past 10 days, the pressure is on Mikel Arteta's men.
