Frank confirmed that Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Mohammed Kudus, Randal Kolo Muani and Pape Matar Sarr are all available for the weekend so he will now "need to make difficult decisions". However, Dominic Solanke "is not ready yet" and they want to be "as sure as we can be that there is no set-back going forward", so there was no timeframe on his return.
On managing his first north London derby in the Premier League: "When you are in it, you sense it and feel this is important. You feel from the fans, you feel from the staff members, the players, the people that's been working here for years, this is the big one. I always say the next game is the most important game, but I'm very, very aware there is two games a year that are even more important - this is the first of them and we are ready."
Asked about the chaos that can come with these matches, he responded: "The interesting thing is that probably both Mikel [Arteta] and I would like a little bit more controlled game, but it will probably end up [an] absolutely madhouse. Very, very enjoyable to watch for the outside people or fans. A game that can go anywhere. Everything can happen in that game."
He added: "Definitely embrace controlled chaos or chaos we like to create, because I think chaos is also good. You can also be too structured, too fixed, we need a bit of chaos. Chaos is transitions. Chaos is high pressure. Chaos is set pieces."
Frank joked that Tottenham's set-piece coach Andreas Georgson and the Gunners' set-piece coach Nicolas Jover are two of then best in the league because they both worked with him at Brentford, but on the challenge of this against Arsenal he said: "There's no doubt one of the battles we need to win in this game to win the game is set-piece battle. So can we can win that battle? Then we are halfway there because they are strong, we are strong and that will be a battle in itself."
The Spurs boss said while it was a "special day" meeting with Manchester United and Chelsea - which he revealed in his new book - that is now "history" and he is "here now, another massive club and I'm very happy here".
