Arsenal face the biggest statement match of the season as they travel to Wembley to face Tottenham Hotspur. Here is all you need to know.
Well, here we are, with the season more or less on the line and Spurs up next. Arsenal sit just four points behind their dearly beloved rivals, as well as five and six points behind Chelsea and Liverpool, respectively. To say that a win is necessary is a bit of an understatement.

Thankfully, the club prepared for matches such as this in January, when they got rid of the division in the team and brought in the dynamic bromance of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. They produced a goal and three assists in their first match reunited and, ask any expert out there, the sky is the limit with these two.

Between the former Dortmund duo and the Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey remnants, this is an attack that will be undaunted by any defensive prowess that the Spurs are hoping to bank on. The same is true on the other side of things, with a shaky Gunner defense facing a solid Spurs attack as well.

Goals will be scored. That much is certain.
Last time these two faced off at the Emirates, the Gunners were in a bit of a quandary (no surprises). They had just been bounced by runaway title favorites Manchester City. But they rebounded superbly, shut down the Spurs supposedly superior midfield and emerged victories, 2-0. It remains one of the better displays we have seen all year.
In terms of team news and injuries, there isn’t a lot to talk about. Petr Cech is looking like he will be available, and there are no other injuries to speak of. The question is simply how Arsene Wenger will line his men up. He has options, particularly in the attack, and the question on everyone’s mind is if he can finagle Alexandre Lacazette into his starting XI.
All that said, here are all the match facts and how to watch and listen:
