Tottenham could be handed a double boost in midfield ahead of Saturday's pivotal north London derby at home to Arsenal.

Dele Alli is expected to return from an ankle injury after he came off the bench against West Ham on Wednesday, while Mousa Dembele may also feature at White Hart Lane, having overcome a groin strain.

Clinton Njie and Jan Vertonghen, however, will both miss the match. The duo are still out with knee injuries.

Provisional squad: Lloris, Vorm, Walker, Rose, Trippier, Davies, Alderweireld, Wimmer, Carter-Vickers, Winks, Dier, Dembele, Mason, Carroll, Bentaleb, Alli, Eriksen, Onomah, Lamela, Son, Chadli, Kane.
