Odegaard has missed the last two matches with a knee injury, while Havertz has not played since the win over Sunderland earlier this month due to a hamstring issue.

Arsenal make the trip to take on rivals Spurs on Sunday and could be boosted by the return of the key duo, with a decision to be made after training the day before the match.

"We have to wait until tomorrow but there is a big possibility that they are available," Mikel Arteta said at his pre-match press conference.

He has looked bright there but Arteta could opt for more with Odegaard starting, if the Arsenal captain is deemed to be fit.

Riccardo Calafiori is an option to come into the side if Arteta does decide to freshen things up at left-back.

In attack, Leandro Trossard is fit and available despite going off against Wolves on Wednesday night after a blow to the head.

Neither Viktor Gyokeres or Gabriel Jesus have impressed recently, but Arteta is more likely to favour the Swede leading the line.

Predicted Arsenal XI (4-2-3-1): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice; Saka, Odegaard, Trossard; Gyokeres
