Harry Kane STARTS at Arsenal but Tottenham are without Dele Alli for north London derby

Harry Kane has won his recovery battle to start for Tottenham in the north London derby.

But England teammate Dele Alli won't be alongside him after failing a fitness test. Alli, a nominee for the Golden Boy award, isn't even on the bench but Kevin Wimmer and Mousa Dembele are both starters for Mauricio Pochettino's men.

Arsenal can count on a virtually full-strength side for the visit of their arch rivals.

Francis Coquelin and Granit Xhaka start in midfield, meaning the Swiss international will experience his first-ever north London derby after having played against Tottenham in the Champions League with Basel many years ago.

Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Walcott, Coquelin, Ozil, Iwobi, Sanchez.

Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Wimmer, Rose, Dier, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Son, Kane.
