Eberechi Eze is back into the starting XI to face Tottenham in Sunday’s north London derby.
Our No. 10 - who scored a hat-trick in the reverse fixture earlier this season - is one of two changes from the team that faced Wolves in midweek, with Leandro Trossard also coming in start the game. Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli are the pair to make way.
The back four in front of David Raya remains unchanged, while Martin Zubimendi continues in midfield alongside Declan Rice, who makes his 100th Premier League appearance for us.
Bukayo Saka – who signed a new long-term contract in the week – starts on the wing with Viktor Gyokeres again leading the line up front.
Martin Odegaard returns from a knee injury sustained against Brentford to take his place on the bench, but Ben White misses out entirely. Kai Havertz, Mikel Merino and Max Dowman also remain unavailable.
LINEUPS
Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Trossard, Gyokeres.
