The north London derby will be one of the most hotly contested in recent years when Arsenal and Tottenham clash on Saturday afternoon, with both sides enjoying an upturn in form and making a charge for the top four.

The Gunners are only outside the Champions League qualifying positions on goal difference with Southampton above them by a single goal, while Spurs remain in the hunt as the sit one place behind their rivals and just two points off a return to Europe’s elite.

With the likes of Santi Cazorla and Christian Eriksen in superb form, Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off could certainly be one to remember.

So we’ve selected our Best XI from both sides if they were to be combined, and it makes for interesting reading.
