Arsenal team news: Star name faces late fitness test ahead of Tottenham clash

Arsenal will be looking to record back-to-back wins in the Premier League when they take on their bitter rivals Tottenham this weekend.

The north London derby takes place at Wembley on Saturday while kick-off is scheduled for 12:30 (GMT).

Arsenal defeated Tottenham earlier this season following goals from Shkodran Mustafi and Alexis Sanchez, but have struggled away from home this season.

Arsene Wenger’s side will come into the game in high confidence thanks to their 5-1 win over Everton and the fact that they have won their last 9 games at Wembley.

Arsenal team news:

First-choice keeper Petr Cech faces a late fitness test on Saturday. Meanwhile, Danny Welbeck and Nacho Monreal have returned from injury and are available for selection.

“We had a few problems with Cech, who we are not sure about at the moment because he’s not trained. I don’t know if he will be available. Monreal looks alright again. It should be a similar squad,” Wenger stated at the pre-match press conferance.

Star playmaker Mesut Ozil is expected to retain his place in his favoured number ten role.
