One of the fiercest rivalries in Europe is renewed when Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby.
Just three days after being bounced from the FA Cup by Manchester United, Arsenal must win against their bitter rivals to restore confidence moving forward. Mikel Arteta's squad, particularly in attack, is thin with Gabriel Jesus suffering an ACL injury in the cup. Bukayo Saka continues to recover from a hamstring injury leaving just Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz as the attacking options.
Liverpool dropping points to Nottingham Forest once again provides an opportunity for Arsenal to close the gap to the top while taking back control of second place. Anything other than a win would be dire.
Here's how Arsenal could look come the north London derby on Wednesday, Jan. 15.
