Tottenham Hotspur play host to Arsenal on Saturday afternoon having suffered back-to-back defeats in the Premier League.
Mauricio Pochettino's side had been considered as challengers for the league title, but away setbacks at Burnley and Chelsea have left Spurs looking over their shoulder in the battle to achieve third place.

However, some members of the squad remain unavailable and here, Sports Mole looks at Spurs' latest injury and suspension news ahead of their encounter with Unai Emery's team.
