Arsenal will be aiming to return to winning ways when they take on Tottenham Hotspur on the road today.

The Gunners are currently just two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City and can extend the gap with a positive result against Spurs.

Ahead of the game, manager Mikel Arteta could make three changes.

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya is an undisputed starter in goal and he is expected to keep his place between the sticks. He will be eyeing his 14th clean sheet of the league campaign.

The defence could witness one change with Jurrien Timber making way for Ben White. Timber had a poor outing against Wolves, losing possession on 18 occasions. He needs a much-needed rest and could be replaced with White at right-back.

Similarly, there could be one change in the midfield department. Martin Odegaard looks poised to return in the number 10 position on his return from injury. Bukayo Saka, who has played there in recent games, should slot on the right wing.

Noni Madueke will drop to the bench with Saka’s change of position. The other change could be on the left wing with Leandro Trossard replacing Gabriel Martinelli.

Martinelli lost possession 24 times on Wednesday and won just four out of 18 duels. He was guilty of missing a clear-cut chance too. Hence, he is likely to be dropped.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Tottenham: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapie; Zubimendi, Odegaard, Rice; Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard.
