Furthermore, they hammered PSV in the Champions League with a convincing 4-0 win as Saka, Trossard, Jesus, and Odegaard were all on the scoresheet to start the Gunners’ European campaign with a bang.
As for Tottenham, they have also started the season very well under new manager Ange Postecoglou. They have won their last four games out of five in the Premier League.
Last weekend, Spurs managed to beat Sheffield United 2-1. After being 1-0 down, Tottenham managed to score two stoppage-time goals to secure a big win.
Both teams will look to start their best starting XI in this match, and a win for either side will be a huge boost for the remaining season.

Arsenal team news
Gabriel Martinelli will most likely miss out after his injury against Everton. Thomas Partey, Timber, and Mo Elneny will be out as well. Mikel Arteta will most probably use the same XI that started against PSV in the Champions League.
Aaron Ramsdale may start this game with David Raya staring against Everton and PSV the Englishman may get the notch this time.
Tottenham Hotspur team news
For Tottenham, Ivan Perisic will be unavailable after suffering an ACL. However, Giovani Lo Celso will return to the squad. Bryan Gil, Bentancur and Ryan Sessegnon will miss the game against Arsenal.
Ange Postecoglou’s side did not play any game in the midweek and would have recovered well after last weekend’s game.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Predicted line-ups
Arsenal (4-3-3): Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Viera; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison
Prediction
Arsenal 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Both teams play attacking football and are defensively fragile, so an attacking game in the North London derby will be expected. Spurs are playing brilliant attacking football under Postecoglou and will look to take that next step this season by beating the Gunners. But Arsenal are a more dominant and experienced side with a good squad depth and will have the upper hand to win this game.
