Spurs duo to be assessed
Tottenham duo Jan Vertonghen and Harry Winks are struggling with hip injuries and could be forced to sit out Saturday's north London derby.
Vertonghen missed the midweek 2-0 defeat at Chelsea although Winks did feature in all 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge.
Meanwhile, Dele Alli (hamstring) and Eric Dier (tonsillitis) look set to miss the Wembley encounter against Arsenal, which Spurs are 21/20 to win. Mauricio Pochettino's team have lost their last two Premier League games and are 1/3 to finish in the top four this term. Spurs are four points above Arsenal heading into the derby clash.
"I think the feeling is a little bit weird," admitted Pochettino. "It should be that everyone before the start of the season [would] sign to be in the position that we're in today, and you're [saying to] me, 'It's only four points, that Arsenal or Manchester United are below us, or Chelsea.'
"I think we're living in different realities because, with all the circumstances, Tottenham deserve big praise to be in the position that we're in at this moment of the season.
"Of course we're disappointed in the last two results but we need to keep going and trust in our team. It's going to be tough on Saturday but we believe we can deliver a good job."
Harry Kane is 8/11 to score at any time on Saturday while a 1-1 draw in the north London derby is available at 13/2.
