Arsenal head into the North London derby in highly contrasting form to Tottenham Hotspur.

While Spurs have been struggling, Mikel Arteta’s side have been performing excellently.

Arsenal have gone unbeaten in their last five matches, and as a result Arteta is unlikely to want to make many changes here.

Arsenal have lined up in both 5-3-2 and 4-3-3 formations recently, and it may be the latter than Arteta picks on Sunday.

Arsenal will surely want to attack a Spurs side who have looked low on confidence.

It could be that Bukayo Saka drops back into a midfield role, which would allow Arteta to bring in Nicolas Pepe.

Pepe has the skill and trickery to be able to hurt a Spurs side, who have shown little attacking class of late.

Elsewhere, Arteta looks likely to stick by the players who have been successful in recent weeks, and it seems unlikely that major changes will be made.
