Arsenal attacking duo Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz could be fit for the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The Gunners are presently four points ahead of Manchester City at the top of the table and can extend the lead to seven when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers on the road tomorrow.

Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori have been deemed fit for tomorrow’s encounter, and Arteta has added that Odegaard and Havertz could return in time for the weekend encounter.

Arsenal will be in action against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday. Odegaard and Havertz could be back in first-team training in the lead-up to the much-awaited clash.

The Gunners will go into the north London derby as favourites with Spurs languishing close to the drop zone, but there could be a manager bounce with Igor Tudor taking charge recently.

Tudor has replaced Thomas Frank at the helm as the interim manager and will be aiming to spring a surprise and beat the Gunners in his maiden game.
