Arsenal make the short trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend looking to win the bragging rights in the North London Derby.

Both sides are coming into the game off the back of Europa League games. Arsenal saw off Rapid Vienna with relative ease, while Spurs struggled to a 3-3 draw in Austria against LASK.

For the Gunners, the win for them in convincing fashion has given Mikel Arteta a few things to think about. The likes of Joe Willock and Mo Elneny are pushing hard, while Thomas Partey could also return in midfield.

Formation wise, Arteta needs to decide on a back three or four as he looks to stem the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son.

It’s a big call for the Arsenal boss but we think Partey will make it, while Elneny could come in to give the back three extra protection and energy. Alexandre Lacazette should also keep his place after impressing in midweek.

Here, then, is our predicted Arsenal XI as they take on Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham this Sunday.
