Arteta to make three big changes: Expected Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal visit arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League today.

The Gunners won their opening two games before a frustrating draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.

They will be aiming to make amends at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Arsenal are eyeing a third-straight away win over their local rivals.

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-up:

David Raya has already kept two clean sheets this season and was brilliant against Brighton. The Spaniard has been playing with plenty of confidence and is guaranteed to start in goal ahead of new signing Neto.

The backline should stay unchanged. Ben White and Jurrien Timber are set to start in the full-back slots, with William Saliba partnering Gabriel Magalhaes in the heart of the defence.

There will be enforced changes in midfield. Declan Rice is suspended after his sending-off versus Brighton. Jorginho is a natural replacement for him in the centre of the park alongside Thomas Partey.


Club captain Martin Odegaard is a huge doubt for the game with an ankle sprain. Kai Havertz will drop into a central attacking role. He played in a similar position for Germany this week.

Bukayo Saka is a nailed-on starter on the right wing. He has had a brilliant start this term with one goal and three assists. Leandro Trossard will drop out on the opposite flank.

Manager Mikel Arteta may look to exploit Spurs’ high backline with plenty of pace. Gabriel Martinelli could get the nod on the left wing, with Gabriel Jesus starting as the main striker.

Jesus was back in full training earlier this week and he could be tasked with leading the attack.
