Tottenham have switched to a back three for the north London derby against Arsenal.
Thomas Frank has brought Kevin Danso into the heart of defence alongside Cristian Romero and Micky van de Van at Emirates Stadium.

Frank used a three-man central defence to good effect against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup and reverts to that system again.
Richarlison leads the line even though Randal Kolo Muani had been pushing to be available after training in a specially fitted mask to help protect his jaw injury.
Djed Spence did not feature for England over the international break but gets the nod at right-back, with Destiny Udogie at left-back up against Bukayo Saka.
Pape Matar Sarr and Mohammed Kudus both recovered from knocks to train on Friday and are available, with the latter back on the right flank.
Lucas Bergvall has also recovered having withdrawn from Sweden duty after still feeling the effects of concussion, and he makes the substitutes’ bench.
Although and Sarr and Bergvall are back fit, Frank sticks with his preferred duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and Joao Palhinha in midfield.
Xavi Simons is forced to settle for a place on the bench, with Wilson Odobert and Kudus flanking Richarlison in attack.
