Arsenal predicted lineup vs Tottenham Hotspur: Arteta NEEDS three points

Hector Bellerin

The Spaniard will make the cut. He has been in good form this season and it oftentimes goes overlooked due to how his side have been playing. As an Arsenal fan, this matchup will be important to him and he will want to do the best he can to get the three points for the fans. He will be bombing forward and posing a threat to his opposing full-back.

Gabriel Magalhaes

Consistency, solidity and organisation; these are the three things which Gabriel has brought to the side since he was signed in the summer. He has ended up being one of the best deals of the summer transfer window and he will almost certainly get the nod for this match, in his first time playing a North London derby.

Rob Holding

David Luiz returned to the XI last weekend against Wolves but, in all honesty, Arsenal looked worse off for it. Holding should get the nod in this match because, while he is not the experienced option, Arteta should prioritise form over experience and Holding certainly has more confidence than Luiz.

The two centre-backs will need to work harmoniously to cut out any threat from Harry Kane.

Kieran Tierney

Tierney brings grit and determination to games like this. He has had his flaws this season and in recent weeks, but no one can question his character. Whenever he makes a mistake, he is more determined than anyone to get up and make amends. He will be in the faces of the Tottenham attackers, which is what Arteta would want.
