Willian (RW) – The former Chelsea man doesn’t necessarily deserve to start but he likely will. After growing unpopular within the Arsenal faithful, a strong performance against Tottenham would lead to many turning a blind eye to his recent below-par outings. The 32-year-old had a tendency to perform against Spurs in his Chelsea days.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (ST) – Just like Willian, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is a man who needs to redeem himself. He’s shown signs of life in recent weeks down the middle but hasn’t managed to notch since our away win at Old Trafford. A captain’s performance is well and truly required from the Gabonese goalscorer.

Bukayo Saka (LW) – Thankfully, Bukayo Saka was an unused substitute on Thursday night. He deserved the rest. Hopefully, that means he’ll be primed and ready for tomorrow’s derby. So far this season, the 19-year-old has arguably been our best attacking player. A strong outing from him tomorrow would unquestionably live long in the memory of many Arsenal fans.
