[Arsenal Predicted lineup vs Tottenham] Arsenal will take on arch-rivals Tottenham in the North London Derby on Wednesday, January 15 in one of the most-anticipated fixtures of this gameweek. Playing at home, the Gunners will be confident of getting a result in front of their fans as they will look to make it four wins in-a-row against Spurs with a strong performance.
However, the task will not be easy as Arsenal will enter this match on the back of two defeats in their last two matches. Newcastle United defeated them 2-0 in the first leg of the EFL Cup semi-finals at the Emirates Stadium, before Manchester United knocked them out of the FA Cup at the same venue a few days later after a penalty shoot-out.
In addition, injuries seem to keep haunting Mikel Arteta and his men as Gabriel Jesus picked up an anterior cruciate ligament injury in his left knee which will rule him out for the rest of the season. He joins Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ethan Nwaneri on the treatment table.
Injuries, injuries, injuries – How could Arsenal lineup vs Tottenham?
Having injuries in the squad is one thing, but that happening when the squad was already thin to begin with is a recipe for disaster. However, Arsenal have navigated their injuries pretty well so far this season, with Saka and Martin Odegaard missing several games apiece. Arteta and his men will have to do something similar in the next game.
David Raya will retain his place between the sticks for Arsenal. Jurrien Timber will be the right back, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes in the middle, and Riccardo Calafiori on the left.
Captain Odegaard will start in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Thomas Partey. Raheem Sterling will start on the right flank, Gabriel Martinelli on the left, and Kai Havertz will play up top.
Arsenal Predicted lineup vs Tottenham: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Odegaard (C), Partey, Rice; Sterling, Havertz, Martinelli.
