Arsenal look for three points away against Tottenham Hotspur
Kick-off : 12:30 PM (Local)
Venue : Wembley Stadium, London
Arsenal are currently sixth in the table after 26 games with 45 points. They trail table toppers Manchester City by 24 points. The only way is up for Arsenal from here.
Arsenal defeated Everton last weekend comprehensively and will be in a positive frame of mind. Although Tottenham away will be a sterner test.
On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur are currently fifth in the points table after 26 games with 49 points. They trail Man City by 20 points. They will need to keep winning games to finish higher.
Spurs drew with Liverpool away and followed that up with a win in the FA Cup. So they will be very confident ahead of the Arsenal game.
So far Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have played each other on 194 occasions. Out of that Arsenal have won on 81 occasions while Spurs have won on 62 occasions, 51 other games have been a draw.
Team news and possible line-ups
Mauricio Pochettino has a full squad to choose from for the weekend game.
As for Arsenal, Petr Cech and Danny Welbeck are both doubts for the Spurs game. Although Nacho Monreal is available and might play on Saturday. While Santi Cazorla remains sidelined.
Tottenham Hotspur XI : Lloris, Trippier, D. Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies, Dembele, E. Dier, D. Alli, Eriksen, Son, Kane.
Arsenal XI : Cech, Bellerin, Koscielny, Mustafi, N. Monreal, A. Ramsey, Xhaka, Ozil, A. Iwobi, H. Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang.
Prediction
I expect it to be a closely fought game on Saturday as both teams will give their all. May the best team on the night who commits less mistakes win.
