Van de Ven Ready to Make His Mark
The Dutch defender, who joined Tottenham from Wolfsburg earlier this summer, has been sidelined with a hamstring injury. However, manager Ange Postecoglou confirmed that van de Ven is now fit and ready to make his Premier League debut.
This is a huge boost for Tottenham, who have been searching for a reliable defensive partner for Cristian Romero. Van de Ven's arrival has been met with excitement from fans, and his presence in the heart of the defense could add a new dimension to Spurs' game.
Solanke's Fitness Remains a Concern
On the other side of the derby, Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke's participation in the match remains uncertain. The striker picked up a knock during their recent match against West Ham, leaving his availability for the NLD up in the air.

A Clash of Styles Awaits
The North London Derby is always a fascinating encounter, and this weekend's clash promises to be no different. Tottenham's attacking style under Postecoglou will be tested against Arsenal's defensive solidity, while Bournemouth will be looking to exploit any weaknesses in the Gunners' backline.
With the excitement building and the stakes high, the NLD is sure to be a captivating encounter. Whether van de Ven can make an immediate impact for Spurs, and whether Solanke is able to overcome his injury concerns, will be two of the key factors to watch.
