Arsenal Team News vs Tottenham – White Back Fit?

Supporters across the globe will have been beaming from ear to ear to see Takehiro Tomiyasu make it through the full 90 minutes against Leeds unscathed.

His importance can’t be measured in words, only in the noises emanating from the Emirates Stadium anytime he goes down clutching his leg. Those gasps tell the full story.

Fortunately there were none on Sunday and he looks to be fine for Thursday, with Arteta also reassuringly providing an update on Benjamin White’s progress post-match.

"“I think so [White will be fit], he’s been starting to do a little bit of work now on the pitch and we want everybody available because we know that game is so important,” the boss said."

As for Saka, who was substituted early on in the second half and appeared to be hobbling, Arteta insisted he was ‘fine’ despite the Star Boy being withdrawn in each of the previous three league matches with either fatigue or injury.

In regards to the hosts, four players will definitely be unavailable to Antonio Conte.

Full-back pair Matt Doherty and Sergio Reguilon won’t be available, the latter suffering a groin problem prior to facing Liverpool, while fellow defender Japhet Tanganga is out until July. The other absentee is midfielder Oliver Skipp.
