Mikel Arteta has confirmed his starting XI for the North London Derby against Spurs at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League
Thomas Partey is in the starting line up for Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium. There had been some doubts over the Ghanaian’s fitness after he was forced to withdraw from the international break due to injury, but he’s ready to play.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is also in the XI for the North London Derby amid some concerns over a calf problem that saw him miss the win over Brentford. His return sees Kieran Tierney drop to the bench.
Fabio Vieira is also among the subs after Martin Odegaard’s return to fitness following a calf injury that ruled him out of the Brentford victory.
Gabriel Jesus meanwhile is up top and will be looking to avoid a yellow card that will force him to miss Arsenal’s next match against Liverpool in the Premier League. Takehiro Tomiyasu is also in the squad after being forced to leave Japan duty halfway through.
Arsenal starting XI vs Tottenham – Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Partey, Xhaka, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus. Martinelli.
