Shkodran Mustafi and Alexandre Lacazette have been recalled by Arsene Wenger as Arsenal host Tottenham at the Emirates in the North London Derby.
The duo are the only changes from the Gunners’ loss to Manchester City last gameweek, with Francis Coquelin and Alex Iwobi making way. Danny Welbeck also returns into the scheme of things after recovering from a groin injury, although he is only fit to start on the bench.
For Tottenham, the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Hugo Lloris have returned, with Mauricio Pochettino making five changes and naming his strongest possible side for the derby. Harry Winks is fit as well, but he starts on the bench. Danny Rose is a surprise omission from the squad.
