It's North London Derby day. The second of the season takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night, with both teams in need of three points.
Arsenal have the bragging rights as it stands, wining the reverse fixture at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium 1-0 thanks to a Gabriel Magalhaes header. In fact, Tottenham have not beaten the Gunners since the 2021/22 season.
Always one of the most hotly contested matches of the Premier League season, the North London Derby is a fierce encounter. But, it will be a clash that will be without a number of key players on both sides.
Arsenal have their injury issues, compounded this week by the news that Gabriel Jesus suffered an ACL injury against Manchester United in the FA Cup third round at the weekend. Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri and Takehiro Tomiyasu are out while Riccardo Calafiori is a doubt.
Spurs have had something of an injury crisis throughout most of this season and things are only slightly better for the trip to Arsenal. Richarlison will return for the big match, but plenty of others are sidelined.
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario remains out with an ankle fracture, while defenders Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies and Destiny Udogie are also out. Rodrigo Bentancur will be out as he sits out after getting a concussion against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg. Premier League protocol deems he must sit out for two weeks, meaning he will miss the North London Derby too.
