Arsenal Team News

Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are out injured. Noni Madueke, Gabriel Martinelli, Martin Odegaard and Viktor Gyokeres are all closing in on returns to action.

Gabriel is ruled out at the back so Piero Hincapie is set to deputise. Riccardo Calafiori should be fit to start at left back.

Arsenal Motivation

The Gunners will see a draw as a poor result. They expect to beat their rivals at home to stay top of the table by four points.

Arteta could be pragmatic and look to play defensively if leading. Set pieces will be a big focus as Spurs struggle to defend those situations.

Tottenham Form

Tottenham have five wins in 11 EPL matches this season. A 2-1 home loss to Aston Villa ended a seven-match unbeaten streak in all competitions before a fortunate 0-0 draw at Monaco with 23 shots allowed. After winning 3-0 at Everton, they lost 2-0 at Newcastle in the Carabao Cup.

A dire 1-0 home loss to Chelsea 3.68 xG allowed and just 0.10 xG produced. They responded by beating FC Copenhagen 4-0 despite playing the final 35 minutes with a man less. Before the FIFA break, they drew 2-2 at home to Man Utd as they leaked a 96^th minute goal to drop two points.

Tottenham Team News

Spurs have 12 injuries concerns to deal with. Radu Dragusin and Ben Davies are set to miss out in defence. James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski are injured but Dominic Solanke might be back.

Yves Bissouma, Archie Gray and Mohammed Kudus should be cleared to feature. Cristian Romero and Randal Kolo Muani should pass fitness tests to boosts Thomas Frank’s options.

Tottenham Motivation

Spurs have an awful record in this fixture. A draw would be a great result for the team.

Tottenham are struggling to find a consistent style. Thomas Frank could set up quite defensively in this one to frustrate Arsenal.
