Tottenham Hotspur will look to maintain their bid to finish in the top four in the Premier League this season when they host Arsenal in the latest episode of the North London derby at Wembley on Saturday.

Spurs currently lie in fifth position in the standings, but they are just one point behind fourth-place Chelsea and two behind Liverpool following their hugely entertaining 2-2 draw against Jurgen Klopp's side at Anfield last Sunday.

Mauricio Pochettino's men were on course to both win and lose the match in the closing stages of the thrilling encounter, before Harry Kane's last-gasp penalty gave them a share of the spoils after the England international had missed one in the 87th minute.

While the north London bragging rights are up for grabs this weekend, Pochettino will also be well aware that he can extend his side's advantage over their arch-rivals to seven points with a victory and boost their chances of securing a Champions League spot.

That won't be his only concern though, and with a huge European trip to Juventus to come on Tuesday night the 45-year-old will be considering how he is going to utilise his squad, and he may be considering making some alterations to his XI.

Here is how Tottenham must line up against Arsenal on Saturday, ahead of Hugo Lloris in goal…

Defence

Pochettino has plenty of big decisions to make in his back four for the visit of the Gunners on Saturday, with the main one being whether he decides to start Toby Alderweireld or not.

The Belgium international completed the full 90 minutes on his return from a hamstring injury against Newport County on Wednesday night, but the Argentine boss should choose to save him for the trip to Juventus instead rather than risking him three times in six days.

Davinson Sanchez is more than capable of dealing with Gunners striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang despite his struggles at Anfield last weekend, and his pace could be key at Wembley.

Elsewhere, Jan Vertonghen looks to be a certain starter while Ben Davies and Kieran Trippier could get the nod at full-back after Danny Rose and Serge Aurier started against the League Two side in midweek.

Midfield

Pochettino has another important choice to make in the middle of the park, where Mousa Dembele, Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama look to be battling for the two midfield spots.

Dier endured a nightmare first 45 minutes against Liverpool after his under-hit back-pass was capitalised on by Mo Salah, but he did improve after the break.

Substitute Wanyama made an instant impact with a stunning strike though, and he has pushed himself in contention to start against the Gunners.

Having played 78 minutes against Newport in midweek however, Pochettino would be better off saving him for the trip to Turin and keep with Dembele and Dier in the middle against Arsene Wenger's men.

Tottenham's front four pick themselves at the moment if everyone is fit and if they don't have a huge Champions League match just around the corner, and that should change Pochettino's thinking on Saturday.

Christian Eriksen has started all but one of Spurs' 26 Premier League matches this season, and it would perhaps be a good idea for the Denmark international to start the Arsenal match on the bench with the important clash against Juventus just around the corner.

It's not as though Pochettino doesn't have the options to replace the Dane either, with Erik Lamela starting to get back to his best and making an impact on the pitch after he won the penalty that saw the north London outfit secure a point at Anfield, before he found the net in the 2-0 win against Newport County on Wednesday.

Lamela would either start on the left or the right-hand side of the three behind talisman Harry Kane, with Dele Alli in the middle and Son Heung-Min on the opposite flank in order to cause big problems for the Gunners defence.
