Arsenal team news: Latest squad updates and injury latest ahead of north London derby clash with Tottenham

Arsenal are sweating on the fitness of Alexandre Lacazette ahead of Sunday's Premier League north London derby clash with Tottenham.

The striker missed the Gunners’ 2-1 win at Bournemouth with a minor groin complaint and head coach Unai Emery will be keen for him to feature this weekend.

Emery is expected to ring the changes from Thursday’s comfortable 3-0 victory over Vorskla Poltava in the Europa League, in which academy youngsters Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Emile Smith-Rowe, Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah were given opportunities to impress.

Nacho Monreal (hamstring), Konstantinos Mavropanos (groin) and Danny Welbeck (ankle) remain sidelined, while Mesut Ozil will be pushing for a first-team recall after unexpectedly being benched at the Vitality Stadium.

Provisional squad: Leno, Cech, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Mustafi, Koscielny, Papastathopoulos, Kolasinac, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Nketiah.
