The penultimate match of Gameweek 12 is a north London derby, as Arsenal play host to Tottenham Hotspur.

Kick-off at the Emirates Stadium is at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Mikel Arteta has handed a first Premier League start to Piero Hincapie, who replaces the injured Gabriel Magalhaes.

Full-backs Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori are both fit to start, while Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli return as substitutes.

Viktor Gyokeres remains out, however, so Mikel Merino continues up front.

As for Spurs, Thomas Frank makes five changes from the 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

Kevin Danso, Destiny Udogie, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus and Wilson Odobert come in for Pedro Porro, Pape Sarr, Brennan Johnson, Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani.

The inclusion of Danso alongside Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven suggests that Frank will use a back three formation.

LINE-UPS

Arsenal XI: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Eze, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Merino

Subs: Kepa, Mosquera, White, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Vicario, Spence, Danso, Romero, van de Ven, Udogie, Palhinha, Bentancur, Kudus, Odobert, Richarlison

    1. JBG
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Farke just likes to farke over Porro owners by rotating his 3 FBs.

      1. Fifa las vegas
        11 months, 4 days ago

        When’d he get the Spurs job?

    Spurs pretty passive and sitting deep. Arsenal need to take advantage of this and get an early goal

    1. JBG
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Not enough urgency in their attacking play

      1. Ignasi M
        11 months, 4 days ago

        Yeah only once chance in 21 mins

  19. mookie
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Last 8 Arsenal games with Michael Oliver as referee:
    3 Arsenal players sent off, none for opponents.
    2 pens given against Arsenal, none for Arsenal.

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      11 months, 4 days ago

      he hates Arsenal

    2. mookie
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Refereed 62 games involving Arsenal. 5 pens for Arsenal and 14 for opponents.

  20. F4L
    11 months, 4 days ago

    1. JBG
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Replacement?

      1. F4L
        11 months, 4 days ago

        9 dc reinildo 😥

        but equally just want cunha to properly get going this season

        1. JBG
          11 months, 4 days ago

          Ah :/

          Agree with that last part, this match could be perfect for that, if 100% fit.

  21. Ignasi M
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Spurs showing too much respect to Arsenal. But they will score. Arsenal 1-1 Spurs.

    Saka is a sack of shite

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 months, 4 days ago

      Will Always be while I own him

  23. JBG
    11 months, 4 days ago

    What a poopoo on a stick match so far and yet Spurs probably pleased with that. Seeing how they are going for the "ruin the match for everyone" approach.

  24. RICICLE
    11 months, 4 days ago

    Every time last season when I had the chance to capitalise going against Haaland, it failed.
    Please don’t let this be another case (S)aka

  25. JBG
    11 months, 4 days ago

  28. Tonyawesome69
    11 months, 4 days ago

    I guess I should start counting Saka (c) defcons...

    1. Tonyawesome69
      11 months, 4 days ago

  29. Jacquet or chips

    Spurs parking the bus against the best defence in the league.
