The north London rivals go head-to-head in a huge Premier League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs are starting life under interim head coach Igor Tudor, who has taken charge until the end of the season following the sacking of Thomas Frank.
Tudor’s Tottenham first team are once again without suspended captain Cristian Romero. Radu Dragusin partners Micky van de Ven as central defender. Further on, Randal Kolo Muani is preferred over Dominic Solanke.
Arsenal will look to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points, with the Gunners eager to bounce back from a midweek setback at Wolves. Mikel Arteta’s side have won just two of their last seven Premier League games.
Arteta makes two changes to the team that drew against Molineux, with Eberechi Eze – who scored a hat-trick in the first North London derby of the season – and Leandro Trossard coming in for Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke. Captain Martin Odegaard returns to the bench.
