Danny Mills may not be too popular among Arsenal supporters after naming his ‘North London Derby XI’ ahead of Sunday’s clash.
For Sky Sports, Mills picked his XI based on both squads and it’s fair to say that it consisted of mostly Tottenham players.
Summer signings Nicolas Pepe and Dani Ceballos were the only two Arsenal players to make the team.
Mills’ XI has not gone down well with these Arsenal supporters on Twitter, who were quick to give their thoughts on the line up.

Read Arsenal verdict
There’s a lot to unpack when looking at Mills’ XI.
Not including either Alexandre Lacazette or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was a big call to make and one of the biggest decisions that has angered these Arsenal supporters.
There was also a lot of contentious decisions in midfield, with many fans feeling that Lucas Torreira was hard done by.
Combined XIs can always be difficult and they never usually end with an amicable agreement between both sets of supporters, especially when injuries and fitness concerns are taken into consideration.
The decision to pick as many as nine Tottenham players feels like a bit of a kick in the teeth from Mills, considering it is Arsenal who have enjoyed the better start to the campaign.
