Tottenham Hotspur have the honour of hosting the first North London derby of the season on Sunday, when they welcome bitterest foes Arsenal to their capital home.
Ange Postecoglou's men have one win, one draw and one defeat on their 2024-25 report card so far, most recently suffering a 2-1 loss to Newcastle United before the international break.
Also thrashing Everton and playing out a 1-1 stalemate with Leicester City in the opening weeks of the campaign, Tottenham are smack-bang in the middle of the table in 10th place, three points worse off than their visitors.
Here, Sports Mole rounds up all of Tottenham's latest injury and suspension news ahead of the clash with Arsenal, who drew 1-1 with Brighton & Hove Albion in their most recent affair.
Dominic Solanke
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Ankle
Possible return date: September 15 (vs. Arsenal)
Dominic Solanke has sat out Spurs' last two matches with the ankle injury he picked up in the opening game of the season, but he is now back in training and should be available for Sunday's derby.
Micky van de Ven
Status: Minor doubt
Type of injury: Knee
Possible return date: September 15 (vs. Arsenal)
A knee injury prevented Micky van den Ven from facing Newcastle and representing the Netherlands during the international break, but there is optimism that the defender will be back in action in time as well.
Yves Bissouma
Status: Major doubt
Type of injury: Knock
Possible return date: September 15 (vs. Arsenal)
Spurs did not come through the international break unscathed, as Yves Bissouma was withdrawn in Mali's win over Eswatini after suffering a heavy challenge, and the Lilywhites are anxiously awaiting updates on his condition.
Richarlison
Status: Out
Type of injury: Unspecified
Possible return date: September 26 (vs. Qarabag)
Prior to the loss to Newcastle, Postecoglou revealed that Richarlison had sustained an injury in training, which will rule the Brazilian out for a few weeks.
