North London will witness a shaking on Saturday when Arsene Wenger’s Gunners and Pochettino’s Spurs, battle for three points at the Emirate stadium.
Arsenal have been plagued with inconsistency since the start of the season. They suffered a 2-1 defeat to “mid-table” Watford last month, they had an impressive league run against Everton and Swansea, their poor performance in their last match earned them a 3-1 defeat to the “Cityzens”, they are 12 points behind Manchester City, they have been relegated to the middle of the table since the start of the season. In a brief summary, Arsenal are currently a shadow f the team that once imposed a fear factor on all other teams in the English Premier league.
Spurs on the other hand are soaring with great power as they currently sit-a-top the defending champions “Chelsea” with a single point margin.Their lethal form guided them to an impossible feat as they defeated the best football team in the world “Real Madrid” by a two goal margin. They have strode mightily in the league thus far, with 7 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in their 11 league games this season. Their super victory against Liverpool last month will be enough to frighten the gunners to their bones.
Shkodran Mustafi and Danny Welbeck will require fitness test before they can feature for the Gunners on Saturday afternoon. Santi Carzola and Oliver Giroud are ruled out of the match by long-term injuries.
Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama are the only players ruled out for Tottenham.
Predicted lineup – Arsenal: Cech – Koscielny, Mertesacker, Monreal – Bellerin, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac – Ozil, Sanchez – Lacazette.
Tottenham: Lloris – Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies – Trippier, Dembele, Dier, Rose – Eriksen, Alli – Kane.
The match might start at 12:30pm / 1:30 pm (CAT) in the Emirate stadium.
