Arsenal head to arch-rivals Tottenham in a north London derby that will have huge ramifications on the Premier League title race on Sunday.

The Gunners have played four times since Spurs were last in action and while it has given Ange Postecoglou plenty of time to work with his squad on the pitch, he has also lost a key member of his starting XI in that period.

Destiny Udogie will miss the rest of the season following surgery on his left quadriceps. He is expected to be sidelined for three months, effectively ruling him out of this summer’s European Championships with Italy.

Having impressed up against Bukayo Saka in the reverse fixture in September, his presence will be missed with Ben Davies expected to come in for him.

Pedro Porro meanwhile was forced off in the 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United last time out with a hamstring problem but has reportedly returned to training this week.

Richarlison meanwhile has missed his side’s last two games but was close to being fit in time for that trip to Tyneside two weeks ago.

Arsenal meanwhile have a clean bill of health heading across north London with Jurrien Timber their only likely absentee.

The Dutchman returned to action after a long injury layoff for the Under-23s this week – scoring a beauty in the process – with Mikel Arteta not ruling out the possibility of him making the squad on Sunday but he is unlikely to be risked.

In sweeping Chelsea aside on Monday night, the Gunners came through unscathed with Leandro Trossard on target again, hoping to keep his place in the side ahead of Gabriel Martinelli.

Predicted Tottenham XI vs Arsenal: Vicario, Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Davies, Bissouma, Bentancur, Johnson, Maddison, Werner Son

Predicted Arsenal XI vs Tottenham: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Saka, Havertz, Trossard
