Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Tottenham Hotspur could line up for Sunday's North London derby with Arsenal in the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Dejan Kulusevski has returned to training ahead of Sunday's North London derby with Arsenal in the Premier League.

The Juventus loanee has missed Spurs' last three games with a muscular problem but could now return to the right-hand side in a major boost to Antonio Conte's fifth-placed charges.

Spanish starlet Bryan Gil has made a name for himself in Kulusevski's absence, but he will understandably make way for the Swede this weekend, with Harry Kane and Son Heung-min continuing as ever-presents in the final third.

Already the all-time top goalscorer in North London derbies, Kane will be out to make the net ripple for a 15th time against the Gunners this weekend - having crashed home a penalty in a 3-1 Emirates defeat in October - while his backup, Richarlison, remains uncertain with a thigh problem.

Further back, Matt Doherty and Ivan Perisic have cemented themselves in the wing-back roles, with the former displacing the heavily-criticised Emerson Royal, who was sent off against Arsenal earlier this season.

It remains to be seen if Rodrigo Bentancur's groin problem will let up in time to allow him to start, but Yves Bissouma is expected to shake off a minor ankle issue and will partner Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg if necessary.

Clement Lenglet should be the fortunate man to join Cristian Romero and Eric Dier in the Tottenham backline, as Hugo Lloris - fresh from announcing his international retirement - prepares to make his 440th appearance and potentially keep his 150th clean sheet for Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup: Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Doherty, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son
