Arsenal XI vs Tottenham: Confirmed team news, starting lineup, latest injuries for today

Arsenal have been boosted by a relatively clean bill of health and a few extra days rest ahead of today's north London derby against Tottenham.

The Gunners' match against Leicester on Tuesday was their seventh in 21 days, but following that they will have had four days to prepare for Spurs - who were in action against Bournemouth on Thursday evening.

One area of selection that was for debate was right wing-back, with Cedric Soares pushing hard to beat Hector Bellerin for a starting spot - but the latter gets the nod.

Further forward, Nicolas Pepe starts Bukayo Saka but Alexandre Lacazette leads the line in the absence of the suspended Eddie Nketiah.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies, Sissoko, Winks, Lo Celso, Lucas Moura, Kane, Son

Subs: Vertonghen, Lamela, Sessegnon, Gazzaniga, Bergwijn, Ndombele, Skipp, Fernandes, Tanganga

Arsenal XI: Martinez, Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac, Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, Tierney, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Subs: Papastathopoulos, Torreira, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Cedric, Nelson, Willock, Macey, Saka

Referee: Michael Oliver
