Huge midfield losses for Arsenal: Will Tottenham capitalize?
The Gunners are facing a serious issue in midfield. Mostly all of the first-choice midfielders for Mikel Arteta will not be playing the game. Declan Rice is suspended thanks to the red card he picked up in the game week 3 of the Premier League. New signing Mikel Merino is still out due to injury and yet to make an appearance. At the same time, captain Martin Odegaard is also not available due to the injury he picked up in the international break. As a result, Tottenham will be trying their best to make the most of the midfield crisis at Arsenal. Despite all the setbacks, Arteta was very positive when asked about the upcoming London derby.
How will the Gunners line up?
As per bbc.com, Thomas Partey will be starting as usual. Jorginho is an obvious candidate to fill-in for Rice. But when it comes to Odegaard, the Gunners may actually have a problem. But, Leandro Trossard is expected to play in his place. At the same time, we could also see Raheem Sterling making his debut against Spurs. Needless to say, Tottenham have a golden chance to beat Arsenal in the Premier League. They can try to use the Gunners’ midfield issues and the home support to their advantage. It will be interesting to see if Spurs can put an end to the 3-game unbeaten streak of the Gunners.
