📰 Team News: Arsenal
Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Arsenal gaffer Mikel Arteta to be concerned about due to a largely intact set of players. Gabriel Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.
We think that The Gunners will possibly go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one, utilising David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie, Martin Zubimendi, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Eberechi Eze, Leandro Trossard and Mikel Merino.
📋 Team News: Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank has multiple availability issues to deal with. Dejan Kulusevski (Knee injury) and James Maddison (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.
It’s our belief that Spurs might elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence, Joao Palhinha, Pape Sarr, Mathys Tel, Xavi Simons, Richarlison and Dane Scarlett.
✨ Prediction
Arsenal look likely to score more than once when they meet Tottenham Hotspur, who could well struggle scoring a goal of their own.
We reckon that it will be a controlled 2-0 winning margin for Arsenal at the conclusion of the game.
