Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has said on ITV (10:10pm, January 9, 2023) that attacker Bukayo Saka will face Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the North London derby this coming weekend.
The Gunners will take on Tottenham in the Premier League this coming Sunday.
Saka was in action for Arsenal in their FA Cup third-round tie against Oxford United away from home on Monday evening.
The £70,000-a-week (The Daily Mail) England international, who tends to start on the right of a front-three for Arsenal, started the match and played for 75 minutes.
Saka appeared to have an injury, but Arteta has said that there is nothing to worry about.

Arteta said: “He is fine. He will be fine.”
Encouraging
In our view, Bukayo Saka being fit for Arsenal against Tottenham Hotspur is very encouraging for the Gunners.
Arsenal will be determined to win the North London derby and maintain their chances of winning the Premier League title this season.
Tottenham are a very good side, and Arsenal will need their best attacking players, including Saka, to break down Conte’s team at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
