Team news

Emery flirted with the idea of fielding an attacking trio consisting of Aubameyang, Pepe, and Lacazette, something Arsenal fans have been eagerly anticipating. We can thus deduce that the French number nine should be fit for this game after battling with an ankle issue.

Nacho Monreal will not feature after completing a move to Real Sociedad, which means Kolasinac could start on Sunday. It will be interesting to see who will start in the midfield after a disappointing showing from Ceballos and Xhaka at Anfield. Torreira will be vying for a start.

Pochettino, on the other hand, will be without a few key players. Defenders Kyle Walker-Peters and Juan Foyth have both been ruled out, while club-record signing Tanguy Ndombele will also be forced to sit out this trip. Eric Dier could slot in the midfield should he be passed fit, but the Englishman is a doubt alongside Dele Alli.

Key stats

Tottenham are without a win since November 2010 at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League. That’s a run of eight straight games without a victory.
Furthermore, that 2010 victory remains their one and only league win away to the Gunners in 26 trips (D10 L15).
Harry Kane is the all-time top scorer in Premier League North London Derbies with nine goals and will be keen on adding to his tally.
One more goal and he will move level with Adebayor and Bobby Smith on 10 goals as the all-time leading scorer in North London Derbies across all competitions.
Pochettino’s men are without a win in their last seven away games (D1, L6).
