The Tottenham Hotspur team selection for the Premier League fixture against Arsenal has been announced.Tottenham Hotspur come into this afternoon’s encounter off the back of a disappointing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United last time out in the Premier League.That match took place 12 days ago, and Tottenham have not kicked a ball since, having been knocked out of the FA Cup and secured automatic qualification for the Champions League round of 16.The same, however, cannot be said of their bitter rivals Arsenal, who have played three times in that period but are winless in their last two Premier League outings. Brentford held Arsenal to a 1-1 draw earlier in matchweek 26, before bottom-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw a few days later.Photo by Shaun Botterill/Getty ImagesIgor Tudor will be looking for a new manager bounceNew boss Igor Tudor will no doubt be desperate to add to Arsenal’s misery this evening as he aims to get his Tottenham career off to a positive start.The Croatian, however, must do so without several first-team regulars, with only 13 senior players at his disposal for this encounter.Kevin Danso, Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Ben Davies, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are all still unavailable for this clash. Cristian Romero is suspended, while Pedro Porro has not recovered in time to make the matchday squad. Meanwhile, Destiny Udogie continues to nurse a hamstring injury and is unavailable for selection.This is the Spurs team which takes to the field at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium today:Tottenham XI: Vicario; Palhinha, Dragusin, Van de Ven; Gray, Bissouma, Sarr, Spence; Gallagher, Simons; Kolo Muani Arsenal XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Eze, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, TrossardOur North London Derby line-up 👊🔢 @krakenfx pic.twitter.com/9WOT7DyTj7— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) February 22, 2026Tottenham fans must get behind the playersArsenal are gunning for the title, and a victory here will restore belief in Mikel Arteta’s side following their recent stumbles.Tottenham, on the other hand, are looking to stay in the Premier League and must start putting three points on the board if they are to avoid the drop.Many Spurs fans will not want to see their rivals end a 22-year wait for a Premier League title, which serves as extra motivation for Tottenham. The supporters will get behind their side; now it must count as Spurs attempts to turn their season around.
