Team News:

• Tottenham Hotspur will miss out on the services of Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus, Rodrigo Bentancur, Lucas Bergvall, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso, Destiny Udogie and Ben Davies due to their injuries. Pedro Porro and Richarlison are not yet confirmed to be a part of the squad. Cristian Romero is suspended.

• Kai Havertz, Mikel Merino, Max Dowman and Martin Odegaard are not going to be in action for Arsenal. They are not fit enough. Bukayo Saka might also sit out due to his fitness issues.

Player(s) to watch:

• Dominic Solanke will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the Gunners. He will be eager to score a goal or two, which can prove to be crucial for Tottenham Hotspur. The 28-year-old has scored two goals in seven Premier League appearances this season.

• Noni Madueke was very effective in the final third in the last game. He will once again be gearing up to help his side in the attacking front. The former Chelsea player can prove to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence. Even though he has not found the net on many occasions this season, Madueke will be an important part of the squad.
