The Gunners know that they can open up a 13-point gap on their London rivals with a win as they look to continue an impressive start to the season that has seen them become league leaders as well as one of the surprise packages so far.
Mikel Arteta’s men will also come into the game with confidence after beating Nottingham Forest 5-0 at the Emirates last week as well as securing a passage into the Europa League last-16 with victory over FC Zurich. The result means that the Gunners have only dropped points in three matches so far this season.
Arteta does face some key decisions ahead of the game but was able to field a strong side to face Zurich and will have been delighted with the role of Kieran Tierney.
There may be some slight concerns when it comes to Gabriel Jesus, the Brazilian has been unable to add to his blistering start to life and hasn’t scored since the North London Derby on October 1st, his importance to the side remains vital though after grabbing two assists last weekend.
Goalkeepers: Aaron Ramsdale, Matt Turner (major doubt), Karl Hein
Defenders: Kieran Tierney, Gabriel, Rob Holding, Takehiro Tomiyasu [doubt], Ben White, William Saliba, Cedric Soares.
Midfielders: Albert Sambi Lokonga, Granit Xhaka, Fabio Vieira, Thomas Partey, Martin Odegaard, Catalin Cirjan, Matthew Smith, Bradley Ibrahim, Mohamed Elneny
Forwards: Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah, Maquinhos (doubt), Reiss Nelson, Khayon Edwards
