Thu Jan 16 02:17:24 UTC 2025: ## Spurs Unleash Five Changes for North London Derby Clash

**London, January 15, 2025** – Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has sprung five surprises in his starting XI for tonight’s highly anticipated Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. The match kicks off at 6:45 PM.

The changes follow Spurs’ FA Cup victory over Tamworth on Sunday. Most notably, Djed Spence returns at left-back and Lucas Bergvall also starts, replacing Sergio Reguilon and James Maddison, who are both named among the substitutes.

Postecoglou has also opted for a completely reshaped front line, with Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, and captain Heung-Min Son all starting. The return of Richarlison to the matchday squad after a November injury layoff is another key development, though he will begin the game on the bench. Tonight also marks the Premier League debut for Antonin Kinsky, who has previously featured in the League Cup and FA Cup.

Arsenal, meanwhile, field a strong starting eleven, with their lineup remaining largely unchanged from recent games.

**Tottenham Hotspur Starting XI:** Kinsky, Pedro Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence, Sarr, Bissouma, Bergvall, Kulusevski, Solanke, Son (c).

**Tottenham Hotspur Substitutes:** Austin, Reguilon, Hardy, Olusesi, Moore, Maddison, Johnson, Lankshear, Richarlison.

**Arsenal Starting XI:** Raya, Timber, Gabriel, Saliba, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Odegaard (c), Sterling, Havertz, Trossard.

**Arsenal Substitutes:** Neto, Tierney, Martinelli, Kiwior, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Merino, Butler-Oyedeji, Kabia.
