Arsenal are on a high after a convincing 5-1 thumping of Bournemouth on Wednesday. The Gunners retained 4th place and a win against Spurs in the North London Derby will close the gap on third place to a single point.
Arsenal’s injury list has been improving recently, with all the short-term casualties back in action. Rob Holding, Hector Bellerin and Danny Welbeck are the Gunners’ only absentees due to long-term injuries. Unai Emery will have everybody else at his disposal for the Derby on Saturday.
The German has been in outstanding form in the last two games and has settled in well after a shaky start to his Arsenal career. He is expected to continue in goal on Saturday.
The veteran defender was outstanding in his last game against Southampton and showed glimpses as to why he was so highly regarded at Juventus. He should return to the squad in place of Carl Jenkinson.
Arguably Arsenal’s best defender this season, Sokratis’ passion for defending and his leadership in the box will be massively important in the derby on Saturday.
The skipper hurt himself in the dying moments of the game against Bournemouth but is expected to return for the derby. Koscielny has scored 3 goals since his return from injury.
The Bosnian has been preferred over Nacho Monreal this season and has done incredibly well with his bombarding runs into the box. His cut-backs from the by line will be crucial on Saturday.
The 22-year-old, despite his short stature, seems to win almost everything in the midfield for the Gunners. The Uruguayan scored his first goal for the club in the reverse fixture and will look to find the net again at Wembley on Saturday.
The Swiss international was rested for the game against Bournemouth and is expected to return to the heart of the midfield on Saturday.
The Armenian has been outstanding since his return from injury and has scored and assisted 4 goals in his last two Premier League games.
The German was back to his best in the game against Bournemouth and scored with his trademark dink over the keeper. His link-up play with Mkhitaryan was a joy to see and their combination will be crucial against Spurs.
Despite his criticism, the Nigerian has done a pretty decent job and has been directly involved in 11 goals this campaign. His driving runs and link-up with Kolasinac will be an asset for the Gunners at Wembley.
