Tottenham and Arsenal have named their starting sides for the first North London derby of the season in the Premier League on Sunday.
As expected, Gunners manager Mikel Arteta will be without Martin Odegaard because of an ankle injury the captain sustained with Norway.
For Tottenham, £55 million summer signing Dominic Solanke makes his home debut in attack as they seek a second win in the last eight editions of the fixture.
The striker did not score against Arsenal in five appearances against them for former club Bournemouth, losing on each occasion.
The squad is set.
