Arsenal vs Tottenham team news

There could be a couple of high-profile debutants on display for the Gunners.

Big-money signing from Sporting Viktor Gyokeres trained with his new team-mates for the first time on Tuesday, and that will excite many Arsenal fans who will be hoping to see him in action against their fierce rivals.

The same can be said of Spanish centre-back Cristhian Mosquera, who was signed from Valencia earlier this month.

Mosquera joined the squad in Singapore but did not feature in the Gunners’ narrow 3-2 win over Newcastle at the National Stadium on Sunday, despite many hoping that he would make his bow.

Instead, Mosquera and Gyokeres watched on from the stands, with the latter paraded and unveiled on the pitch half an hour before kick off.

On the injury front, there was a concern for Riccardo Calafiori, who was withdrawn injured against Newcastle, although Mikel Arteta hopes that the Italian has avoided a serious problem.

Arsenal will also be without long-term absentee Gabriel Jesus, as well as Gabriel and Jurrien Timber.

Spurs have nine current injury cases. There are those that have been out for a while, like Radu Dragusin and Dejan Kulusevski, while James Maddison and Dominic Solanke could be touch-and-go for inclusion here, with Maddison coming back from a knee injury, and Solanke suffering with an ankle issue.

Bryan Gil, Manor Solomon, new signing Kota Takai and Rodrigo Bentancur all missed the double-header against Wycombe and Luton, and Bentancur is the only one of that quartet that should play some part here.

Frank ruled left-back Destiny Udogie out of the Arsenal game after the Italian suffered a tweak in his knee.

Arsenal vs Tottenham prediction

These are two sides in completely different scenarios.

One is settled and is continuing to add to their already strong squad, while the other is embarking on another new project with a head coach that will demand more new signings.

Arteta will want to get Gyokeres and Mosquera integrated into the side quickly, and if the pair play a part here, it will increase the Gunners’ chance of victory that much more.

Arsenal are an almost complete item, while Spurs are still a work in progress. The game will be entertaining, but Arteta’s side should come out on top.
