Arsenal will lock horns with Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday as they look to secure a good result in the North London derby. The Gunners were held to a frustrating 2-2 draw away at Wolverhampton Wanderers recently, so they would be eager to return to winning ways this weekend.
Mikel Arteta will set his side up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to make one change to his first team for this clash. Martin Odegaard could play from the start of this game if he can recover in time from a knock.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Tottenham Hotspur
Defence
David Raya will feature in goal for the Gunners after he conceded two goals in his last appearance. Gabriel will function alongside William Saliba at the centre of the Arsenal backline as they look to keep things solid at the back during the game.
Jurrien Timber will hope to catch the eye as the right-back, while Piero Hincapie hopes to prove his worth on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them will have to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Arteta could opt for a midfield three of Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Martin Odegaard as they focus on winning the 50-50 duels at the centre of the park and creating some inviting chances in the final third.
Eberechi Eze and Christian Norgaard will have to settle for a spot on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will hope to put his pace to good use on the left flank, while Bukayo Saka looks to make a difference as the right-winger if he can pass a late fitness test. Viktor Gyokeres will lead the line for the Gunners up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.
Leandro Trossard, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Jesus will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to make an impact in the final quarter of the game if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
