Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns with Arsenal on Thursday evening, hoping to produce a positive result on their home turf. The Lilywhites will be coming into the match on the back of an encouraging 1-1 draw against Liverpool, whereas the Gunners recorded a stunning 2-1 victory over Leeds United.
Mikel Arteta will probably opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation with a couple of tweaks from the last game, as Ben White looks likely to make his way back into the starting eleven.
4-2-3-1 Arsenal Predicted Lineup Vs Tottenham Hotspur
Defence
Aaron Ramsdale will operate in between the sticks for the upcoming away encounter. The English shot-stopper would hope to put up a strong performance and secure a clean sheet on Thursday.
Gabriel Magalhaes will continue to form the centre-half partnership with Rob Holding at the heart of Arsenal’s backline.
Ben White is a guaranteed starter at the left-back position, whereas Takehiro Tomiyasu might fill in on the other flank as the right-back. The duo would be looking to stretch the opposition backline and create meaningful chances for the front-men.

Midfield
Granit Xhaka and Mohamed Elneny will fulfil the holding midfield positions, with the former occupying a more defensive role. Martin Odegaard will slot into the attacking midfield role.
Odegaard will be accompanied by Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka and on either side, playing on the left and right-wing, respectively.
Attack
Eddie Nketiah will lead the line for the visitors against Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday. The 22-year-old striker will fancy his chances of finding the back of the net when he faces off against the Spurs defence that has conceded three goals in their last five league matches.
Alexandre Lacazette will have to settle for a place on the bench, but he might be called upon in the latter stages of the game if needed.
