Premier League leaders Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to inflict more misery on their out-of-form neighbours Arsenal when the two sides meet in the North London derby on Sunday.
Up to 2,000 fans will be treated to what is always a notable day in the English football calendar, and the returning Spurs supporters will be confident of seeing their side secure the bragging rights.
Jose Mourinho's side are on the longest unbeaten run in the league and head into the weekend at the top of the table, whereas Arsenal have won just one of their last six top-flight outings.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the blockbuster showdown.

Mourinho confirmed that "there is a chance" Alderweireld could return in time for this match after picking up a groin injury against Man City last month. The Belgian is due to return ahead of schedule, although Mourinho is unlikely to take any risks over his fitness ahead of such a busy festive period.

Sunday's game will come too soon for Erik Lamela, who is still suffering from a foot injury which he has struggled to shake off. It may be that the Argentine misses most of the festive period.
