Arsenal contest a critical north London derby with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon as they continue their push for the Premier League title.
The early advantage lies with the Gunners in the fight for first place, but a slip-up at Sunderland before the international break has left the door ajar for their chasers. Returning to winning ways and clinching crucial bragging rights is vital for Mikel Arteta’s men.
The derby marks the beginning of a difficult week for Arsenal, who face Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday before a trip to Chelsea next weekend, and injury issues are causing Arteta selection headaches. A weakened attacking line and a major injury to Gabriel will make Arsenal’s life tougher.
Here is how they could line up at the Emirates Stadium against Spurs.
