Arsenal look to make it two straight North London Derby wins over Tottenham to advance in the League Cup. Here are all the match facts and how to watch.
Here we are again, just a few weeks after we thoroughly stomped Tottenham at the Emirates, and we are facing them up again. Naturally, Arsenal have and always will own North London, but that doesn’t dull the meaning of each Derby in any sense.
And with Tottenham “set for revenge,” it couldn’t be a better time to quiet them once again.
But, as always, it won’t be easy. The Gunners are coming off their first loss since August, and as such, will be primed themselves to get back to their winning ways. It’s just the injury situation that has things cast into doubt.
On the bright side, Mustafi and Sokratis are back from their suspensions, and Mustafi’s injury looks to be settled. That means that those two could be joined by Laurent Koscielny to form a formidable back three that is as capable as they come.

The three questions marks are Sead Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Hector Bellerin – also known as all of our wingbacks. Kolasinac was out against Southampton, Bellerin was subbed out after sustaining a fresh injury, and Maitland-Niles popped up on the injury report for reasons I don’t fully understand.
Meaning that the deadliness from the wings that we have been finding in Bellerin and Kolasinac could be in jeopardy, but with Ramsey, Ozil and Mkhitayran all available, it would seem that we could get the creativity from the center of the park this time around.
On the Tottenham side, the biggest absence will be Eric “The Silencer” Dier, who is out until the New Year. Aurier, Sanchez and Foyth are all question marks, but let’s be honest, that defense isn’t going to keep out Lacazette and Aubameyang.
Both of whom look primed to start, by the way.
It’s going to be another exciting one here, so let’s get you into the match facts and how to watch:
