Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur: match preview

This article is more than 5 years old

What a game this promises to be. Unai Emery has made his mark at Arsenal so far by attacking from all angles and – when required – making bold, offensive changes while Tottenham have found greater rhythm in recent matches, not least in the overwhelming of Chelsea last Saturday. Fatigue could be a factor, mainly for Spurs, who went through the wringer against Internazionale on Wednesday. Emery will pick a different team to the one he fielded in Thursday’s Europa League tie away against Vorskla. David Hytner
