Arsenal vs Spurs Predicted Lineup: Gabriel Jesus Set to Return in North London Derby
Arsenal are set to face Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby with hopes of securing a third consecutive away victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
After a strong start to the season, with two wins and a frustrating draw against Brighton, the Gunners will look to make amends.
Predicted Line-up (4-3-3):
- Goalkeeper:
David Raya, who has already kept two clean sheets this season and was outstanding against Brighton, is expected to start ahead of new signing Neto. Raya’s confidence and shot-stopping abilities have made him a standout figure in the early part of the campaign. - Defenders:
The back four should remain unchanged. Ben White and Jurrien Timber will likely start as the right and left full-backs, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães continuing their partnership at the heart of the defense. - Midfielders:
With Declan Rice suspended after his red card against Brighton, Jorginho is expected to take his place in central midfield, playing alongside Thomas Partey. However, Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard is a doubt due to an ankle sprain, and in his absence, Kai Havertz could drop into the attacking midfield role. Havertz showed his capabilities in a similar role during international duty with Germany. - Forwards:
Bukayo Saka, who has been in fine form with one goal and three assists, is a guaranteed starter on the right wing. On the left, Mikel Arteta may opt for Gabriel Martinelli, whose pace could trouble Spurs’ high defensive line. With Gabriel Jesus returning to full training earlier in the week, he could be given the nod to start as the main striker, pushing Leandro Trossard to the bench.
Arsenal’s lineup balances creativity, pace, and experience as they aim for another away victory in this crucial North London derby.
