Sunday finds Spurs go head-to-head with Arsenal. The irresistible force of Gareth Bale, facing off against Theo Walcott’s emerging talent. Fantasy managers look to the encounter with much anticipation, then, with the neutral surely banking on yet another North London derby goal-fest.

Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now open to all-comers, whatever your allegiance.

The team news from White Hart Lane finds Andre Villas-Boas shuffle his defence again, with Benoit Assou-Ekotto recalled at left-back, shifting Jan Vertonghen to centre-back alongside Michael Dawson, as Steven Caulker makes way. Gylfi Sigurdsson is, perhaps, a surprise starter – he comes in for Lewis Holtby which could see him deployed left, with Gareth Bale playing central up in support of Emmanuel Adebayor. Jermain Defoe is fit enough to return to the bench. As for the Gunners, they make just one change with Aaron Ramsey earning a start in midfield at the expense of the injured Abou Diaby; Lukas Podolski is again amongst the subs, then, as Santi Cazorla is set to retain his role on the left-flank, with Walcott patrolling and cutting in from the opposite wing.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    as im watching the game live on SuperSport HD, there was a “next week games” ticker running at the bottom, listing the MUN and MCY game to play next week as well.
