LONDON, Dec 21 (Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur may be without seven defenders, including suspended Didier Zokora, for the trip to Arsenal for the north London derby on Saturday.

Skipper Ledley King, hopeful of returning for his first match of the season after knee problems, has been sidelined with a thigh strain. They are also without Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Gareth Bale, Anthony Gardner and probably Ricardo Rocha and Michael Dawson. Robbie Keane, however, is back after suspension.

Arsenal's only doubt concerns Theo Walcott who has the flu, while Emmanuel Eboue, who was carried off against Chelsea last week with suspected knee ligament damage, is available.
