Igor Tudor will lead Tottenham Hotspur for the first time on Sunday in a crucial North London derby.
Tottenham is in a difficult situation, currently sitting 16th and without a win in 2026. Tudor held his first training sessions this week, aiming to break an eight-game winless streak. He has a track record of winning his debut matches at his previous clubs. If he secures a victory today, it would be notable, as the last Spurs manager to face Arsenal in his first match was Glenn Hoddle in 2001.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Tudor’s squad is struggling due to numerous injuries and a key suspension. Captain Cristian Romero will miss the match, and Spurs have lost their last six home league games without him. Radu Drăgușin is expected to step in as central defender. Dominic Solanke is back training after a throat issue and is set to lead the attack. However, James Maddison, Pedro Porro, and Destiny Udogie, among others, remain unavailable.
Guglielmo Vicario will be in goal, supported by a defense likely including Micky van de Ven and James Hill. In midfield, Conor Gallagher and Pape Matar Sarr are expected to drive Tudor’s pressing style. Randal Kolo Muani and Xavi Simons will likely assist Solanke up front. Spurs have lost their last three home matches against Arsenal, and a defeat today would mark a fourth consecutive home loss to their rivals for the first time since 1955.
