Unai Emery is expected to make ten changes for what is his first north London derby as Arsenal take on Tottenham this weekend.
Arsenal rested their key men for Thursday’s Europa League clash in Ukraine, with only Rob Holding expected to start at the Emirates from those who took to the field against Vorskla.
Mesut Ozil – omitted against Bournemouth last weekend – is expected to return to the starting XI, while Alexandre Lacazette is expected to start despite struggling with a groin problem.
Nacho Monreal, however, is definitely out with a hamstring injury with Sead Kolasinac set to deputise.
For Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino is expected to recall Christian Eriksen and Heung-min Son to starting XI in place of Lucas Moura and Erik Lamela, while Eric Dier will come in for Harry Winks.
Jan Vertonghen, who completed 90 minutes against Inter Milan in what was his first appearance for two months having been sidelined with a hamstring injury, is also expected to play ahead of young Argentine Juan Foyth.
Danny Rose, who has been passed fit following a groin problem, is also expected to start ahead of Ben Davies.
