Adebayor back for Arsenal reunion

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will revert to his first-choice line-up for Sunday’s north London derby, meaning Emmanuel Adebayor is in line to face his former club Arsenal at White Hart Lane.

Redknapp, who made 10 changes to his team for yesterday’s Europa League win over Shamrock Rovers, will give Aaron Lennon a fitness test after he had to come off with a stiff groin last night.

William Gallas (calf), Michael Dawson (Achilles) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle) are out but Steven Pienaar is available to play his first game of the season after overcoming a groin problem.

Provisional squad: Gomes, Friedel, Cudicini, Bale, Kaboul, Bassong, Corluka, Walker, King, Assou-Ekotto, Rose, Parker, Modric, Livermore, Townsend, Carroll, Lennon, Kranjcar, Rose, Falque, Sandro, Pienaar, Pavlyuchenko, Defoe, Dos Santos, Adebayor, Van der Vaart.
