Spurs looking to pile misery on north London rivals as pressure builds

Arsenal are in desperate need of a statement performance and result as they host Tottenham in a pivotal north London derby on Wednesday night.

The Gunners crashed out of the FA Cup on Sunday after defeat to 10-man Manchester United, while their Carabao Cup hopes are hanging by a thread following Newcastle’s 2-0 win in north London in the first leg of that semi-final tie.

Spurs were poor in the FA Cup, needing extra-time to edge past non-league Tamworth, but they were hugely impressive before that in beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup to boost their own trophy hopes.

Consistency has been a problem, though, and they will be wary of an Arsenal side with a point to prove in front of their home fans.

Arsenal vs Tottenham team news

Arsenal are increasingly short of options in attack, with Gabriel Jesus stretchered off against Manchester United after suffering a knee injury and likely facing a lengthy spell out.

Bukayo Saka and Ethan Nwaneri remain unavailable, while Riccardo Calafiori is a major doubt after missing the United defeat. Raheem Sterling could be handed a rare start as Arteta looks for a solution on the right wing.

Tottenham have significant injury problems themselves, and will once again be without the likes of Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Guglielmo Vicario.

Antonio Kinsky will get his first taste of a north London derby in goal, and Dominic Solanke, Heung-min Son and Dejan Kulusevski should all return to the starting lineup having come off the bench against Tamworth.

Arsenal vs Tottenham prediction

Arsenal have been so poor in front of goal recently, but this could be the kind of match they need to get the attack firing again.

Spurs will not sit back in a low block and there will be space on offer for the Gunners - the question is whether the hosts can take those chances.

Confidence is fairly low in both camps and it promises to be a nervy affair, but Arsenal’s more reliable defence could prove to be the difference.

Arsenal to win, 2-1.
