Arsenal and Tottenham will face off in Sunday's North London derby with both sides looking to enjoy bragging rights over their neighbours.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal took four points from Ange Postecoglou's Spurs last season, drawing at the Emirates Stadium before winning 3-2 at the home of their rivals. They'll be up against it this time, though, with at least a couple of first-teamers unavailable.
Declan Rice is suspended for the Gunners after his red card against Brighton last time out, while Mikel Merino is not yet ready for his debut after picking up an injury in training. They could also find themselves without captain Martin Odegaard, who was seen in crutches after sustaining an injury on international duty.
"We need some more tests," Arsenal boss Arteta said of the Norwegian. "Let’s see what happens in the next day or so. He’s super positive about everything. Martin wants to be here every day, but we have to wait and see. Players with 48 hours are always available. Let’s see what happens.”
Tottenham have injury concerns of their own going into the game, most notably in the form of Yves Bissouma. The midfielder limped out of Mali's match against Eswatini during the international break, and might not be risked.
Spurs are already without injured forward Richarlison, but summer signing Dominic Solanke is expected to be available. The £65m man made his debut on the opening weekend of the season but has missed the last two games with an ankle problem.
Micky van de Ven is also available again after sitting out the defeat at Newcastle. "Micky's good, he's trained all the way through the international break and it was good for him to stay with us to build him back up so he's ready to go," Postecoglou confirmed.

The return of Solanke and Van de Ven, as well as the anticipated introduction of Rodrigo Bentancur for Bissouma, might not be the only changes for Spurs. There's also a chance Brennan Johnson could return to the starting line-up in place of Wilson Odobert as Postecoglou shakes up his front-line.
As for Arsenal, the potential loss of both Rice and Odegaard could force Arteta's hand. Jorginho is likely to replace the suspended Rice, while the absence of Odegaard could prompt Arteta to push Kai Havertz back into midfield.
With Gabriel Jesus available again up front, there are more options for Arteta. The other big question concerns the left-hand side, where Leandro Trossard started last time out and may well keep his place ahead of Gabriel Martinelli and deadline day signing Raheem Sterling.
The one other area of concern for Arsenal is at the back, where Riccardo Calafiori picked up a problem while away with Italy. Regardless of his fitness, though, there's no reason for Arsenal to move away from the back four which started the last two games.
Likely Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Johnson, Maddison, Son; Solanke
Likely Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Jorginho, Partey, Havertz; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
