Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood made four changes from their midweek Europa League defeat at home to Benfica in Sunday's crunch north London derby against Arsenal at White Hart Lane.

Danny Rose, Nabil Bentaleb, winger Andros Townsend and Nacer Chadli all came in, as Emmanuel Adebayor passed a fitness test to lead the line against his old club.

The Gunners, looking to get back into the Barclays Premier League title race, were without injured midfielder Mesut Ozil. That meant Tomas Rosicky came into the starting XI for manager Arsene Wenger's 999th match in charge.

England defender Kieran Gibbs returned at full-back after missing the midweek Champions League draw at Bayern Munich, so captain Thomas Vermaelen was on the bench again. Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny returned from his European suspension.

Tottenham: Lloris, Naughton, Kaboul, Vertonghen, Rose, Chadli, Sandro, Eriksen, Bentaleb, Townsend, Adebayor. Subs: Sigurdsson, Friedel, Kane, Walker, Lennon, Paulinho, Soldado.

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs, Rosicky, Arteta, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Cazorla, Podolski, Giroud. Subs: Vermaelen, Monreal, Flamini, Fabianski, Sanogo, Jenkinson, Gnabry.
