In the final Premier League match of the day, there’s a small matter of a north London derby at the Emirates as Arsenal take on Tottenham Hotspur.

The Gunners, who are unbeaten in their past 10 Premier League home games against Spurs, make one change as Granit Xhaka (£4.9m) returns to the starting XI after a three-game ban, with Nicolas Pepe (£7.2m) dropping out.

That means a third consecutive start for Aaron Ramsdale (£4.5m) in goal.

At Tottenham, Japhet Tanganga (£4.6m) and Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m) replace Emerson Royal (£5.0m) and Cristian Romero (£4.9m) at the back, while Lucas Moura (£6.4m) comes in for Giovani Lo Celso (£5.9m) further forward.

Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) and Ryan Sessegnon (£4.4m) both miss out through injury.

GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Smith Rowe, Aubameyang 

Subs: Leno, Pepe, Martinelli, Lokonga, Cedric, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Tavares, Lacazette

Spurs XI: Lloris, Tanganga, Sanchez, Dier, Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Alli, Moura, Son, Kane

Subs: Gollini, Rodon, Gil, Lo Celso, Skipp, Romero, Royal, Scarlett, Davies

    Whose more of a mug?

    harry kane for these awful awful performances or nuno for still playing the cabbage

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Wholeheartedly agree he should not be starting him

    2. @persecuted_by_mods

      Harry Kane isn't the reason for the bad performances

      How is it his fault there's 0 service, 0 ability to hold the ball and a terrible defence

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        5 years, 1 month ago

        I think the guy who replied to my post is right - the fact he doesn’t want to be there is resonating throughout the whole team.

        I think you can sense it when you watch them

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
          5 years, 1 month ago

          This is Nuno ball, this is how it is under him most of the time

      2. Khark
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Are you watching the same game?

        Harry Kane solely to blame for the third goal. Tanganga has put in several crosses and Kane is nowhere near where a centreforward should be.

        1. Khark
          5 years, 1 month ago

          You're also aware spurs won their first 3 games....when harry kane didnt feature arent you.

    1. Rainer
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Transfer with buy back clause.

    2. Duke Silver ☑
      5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane with a touch in the box

    1. Andy_Social
      5 years, 1 month ago

      That's his work for the day done.

  16. diesel001

    Unhappy Kane = Bad Spurs.

  17. dshv
    5 years, 1 month ago

    I cant believe what i am watching right now.

  18. Forza Papac

    This is so Arsenal. Pulling off a massive result and stringing a few wins together to give the fans hope that they've turned a corner. A few weeks and they'll be back in crisis mode.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Most arsenal fans know what to expect

      It’s going to take a while but it’s a good young team

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Let us enjoy today in blissful ignorance 🙂

    3. PartyTime
      5 years, 1 month ago

      They won’t play Spurs every week

    4. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Do you not expect us to be happy being 3-0 up after 30 mins to our local rival?

      Get in the bin.

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        5 years, 1 month ago

        Didn't say anything about fans enjoying the game

    5. Gunneryank
      5 years, 1 month ago

      We know. But we're enjoying the fact that we might not actually be completely Dier. 😀

  19. Kabayan
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane assist?

    1. g40steve
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, took the ball off Saka 🙂

  20. have you seen cyan
    5 years, 1 month ago

    this Spurs defence is horrendous, such scrappy goals

  21. Joey Tribbiani
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kanes value gone from 150mil -> 15mil in couple months

  22. Harry the Hack
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Remember when people were all over Tanga for 4.5

    1. Gunneryank
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Embarrassingly yes

  23. Duke Silver ☑
    5 years, 1 month ago

    That's a bad miss from Kane.

  24. Gunneryank
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Got a tear in me eye. The lovely flowing transition from defense to attack...

    Smash them lads. Show them Arsenal aren't gonna be pushed around. God i love it.

  25. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Traore keep 1 more week or sell??

    1. PartyTime
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sell

    2. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Sell that charlatan

  26. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
    5 years, 1 month ago

    ESR and Odergaard as 5.3 and 5.5, given Arsenal’s fixtures, probably need some consideration on the WC … is ESR going to be a regular starter …. Saka more so but at 1m more … will definitely have to take a look.

    1. Harry the Hack
      5 years, 1 month ago

      can guarantee ESR won't be 5.3 come next gameweek

    2. Fish up a tree
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Both look good value, Benrahma under threat

  27. FOO FIGHTER
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Nuno needs to swallow his pride and give Scarlett a run so we can have a 4.5 playing striker. Oh and get in a assistant to help him with a new playing style lol

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Lol … love it.

  28. @persecuted_by_mods
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Kane isn't the reason for this bad performance, he's an easy target sure

    1. diesel001
      5 years, 1 month ago

      He is. Because his morale is down. Which has brought down the morale of the squad. Players like Son are sitting there seeing Kane unhappy and thinking 'what does this mean for me?'

      He is Spurs' best player. If your best player wants to leave it makes everyone else stop and think about their future too.

    Get me some returns pls Tierney

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Same here! Come on lad

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      5 years, 1 month ago

      I’d take a CS just now.

    3. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      5 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal score three … I can’t see them finishing the game without conceding one … even against an impotent Spurs.

  30. GENERATION X
    5 years, 1 month ago

    Think Spurs need to concentrate on the Conference this year
