It's taken since 1992 but Tottenham look to have finally broken the St Totteringham's Day curse by putting themselves on course to finish above Arsenal for the first time in 21 seasons.

Mauricio Pochettino's men are undoubtedly the most consistent side in England at the moment and their brand of football has been exciting and irresistible and there is still a strong chance that they will be able to catch up with Chelsea at the top of the table.

However, first thing's first, they need to take down the Gunners this weekend, and a victory will mean that Arsene Wenger's men won't be able to catch them up.

For years Tottenham have been seen as the underdogs in this fixture, with Arsenal's previous dominance being evident, but this term it has all been flipped on its head.

Arsenal's decline has been evident this term. Despite the wealth of talent they have available they haven't been able to get out of second gear since the turn of the year and for the first time under Arsene Wenger they face not qualifying for the Champions League.

So with the final north London derby on the horizon, who would make it into our combined XI given how the past season has gone? 

As you can imagine, there aren't as many Arsenal players involved as there would have been in recent seasons, and it's a credit to how Tottenham have played that so many of their squad are able to make the cut.

In goal, Hugo Lloris gets the nod ahead of Petr Cech. The veteran Arsenal stopper has had a decent season, but he's not on the same level as Lloris anymore so he will have to take a back seat to the France international for the time being.

The defence is dominated by Spurs stars with Kyle Walker, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen and Danny Rose comprising the back four. Hector Bellerin came close to breaking Tottenham's dominance there, but his form has dipped off dramatically over the past few months where Walker has seemingly gone from strength to strength.

Eric Dier is the man to protect the back four, beating off the likes of Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka, while Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen act as the two central midfielders. Given Alli's form, there was no way he wasn't going to be included.

The only Arsenal players that make the cut are Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, who take up positions on the flanks of an attacking trio that is centered around Harry Kane.

Ozil has been decidedly off-colour this term, but he still makes it in ahead of Son, while Sanchez's performances have been as good as ever, it's just his attitude that has come into question.

It's probably the first time that Tottenham have been able to boast so many players in a combined XI, and while there are a few Gunners players unlucky to make the cut (namely Laurent Koscielny) Spurs' dominance is well earned.

Now all they need to do is prove themselves worthy in the actual game...
