The Premier League is back
After a two-week for international activity, the Premier League resumes with the first north London derby of the season. Mauricio Pochettino is seeking his 100th victory as Tottenham boss, but his side’s poor record away from home against the Premier League elite (one win in 16) suggests he may not get it today. Arsenal have won five from five at home in the league so far this season, while Spurs have won four out of five on their travels. Kick-off is at 12.30pm (GMT), but stay tuned for team news and build-up.
Early team news
Danny Welbeck and Shkodran Mustafi were facing late fitness tests as they attempt to recover from respective groin and hamstring injuries. Olivier Giroud misses out today, having picked up a thigh injury on international duty for France.
Tottenham’s medical team have no shortage of the lame and halt to assess. Harry Kane (knee), Harry Winks (ankle), Dele ALli (hamstring) and goalkeepers Hugo Lloris (groin) and Michel Worm (knee) are all in doubt. Toby Alderweireld (hamstring) and Victor Wanyama (knee) will definitely miss out.
