How will Arsenal line up vs Tottenham? Expect north London derby changes from Unai Emery

After Arsenal's defeat at Anfield last week to Liverpool, you would suspect Unai Emery will make changes for today's north London derby against Tottenham.

One of those will be in defence - with Nacho Monreal having signed for Real Sociedad, Sead Kolasinac is set come in at left-back.

Ahead of the defence, a first start of the season for Lucas Torreira is a possibility.

The Uruguayan came off the bench to score last Saturday at Liverpool and his performance in the 4-2 home win against Spurs last season makes him a good candidate to start.

Striker Alexandre Lacazette is another player who will be hoping to get the nod at the weekend.

The Frenchman was left out against Liverpool, but you would think Emery may recall him for this clash with Tottenham as he looks for more attacking intent at home.

Predicted lineup

Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Leno; Maitland-Niles; Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac; Torreira, Xhaka; Pepe, Ceballos, Aubameyang; Lacazette.
