The Gunners will be heading to the White Hart Lane following their disappointing result against Brighton at the Emirates before the international break. Tottenham’s primary objective is to halt Arsenal’s title charge, while Arsenal is looking to pile the pressure on Manchester City and Liverpool.
The match is expected to be a wild derby, with Arsenal’s recent form suggesting they’ll secure a huge three points. However, Tottenham’s desperation to compromise Arsenal’s title tilt and the hatred fueling the match makes it a tough call.
Tottenham and Arsenal Team News:
Tottenham:
Spurs will hope to have Micky van de Ven available after the defender missed the loss at Newcastle before pulling out of the Netherlands squad over the international break. Dominic Solanke may return, too, having missed out on the last two games.
Richarlison is thought to be the other injury worry at this stage, and he is not expected to be fit.

Martin Odegaard was forced off for Norway earlier this week, and he could be out for three weeks. Riccardo Calafiori took a knock while representing Italy. Mikel Merino, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Kieran Tierney are all injured, while Gabriel Jesus has been dealing with a groin problem of late.
