Arsenal host Tottenham on Wednesday night in a Premier League north London derby, with pressure on both sides to get a result.
The Gunners are coming off a disappointing FA Cup exit at the hands of Manchester United, losing the Red Devils on penalties in the third round.
Their challenge for the Premier League title is still alive and they can go within four points of leaders Liverpool with a victory over Spurs, but cannot afford too many more slip-ups.
Mikel Arteta’s men have won just 11 of their 20 Premier League games so far and they need to improve on that win percentage if they are to remain in the title race.
Tottenham are a long way from challenging for the title, coming into this game in 13th and with three defeats and a draw in their last four Premier League outings.
Ange Postecoglou’s team are performing well in cup competitions, which may well be keeping the Australian in a job, as their league campaign has been very disappointing.
The manager will point to the amount of injuries his squad has suffered, which has certainly been a big issue, particularly with both centre-backs and the first choice goalkeeper out.
The match kicks off at 8pm on Wednesday 15 January at the Emirates.
The game is being shown live on TNT Sports 1 and streamed on Discovery+.
Gabriel Jesus has joined Arsenal’s injured list and will miss the rest of the season due to the ACL issue he suffered against Manchester United.
Bukayo Saka, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain out, although Riccardo Calafiori could be involved again.
Tottenham’s problems remain numerous, with Guglielmo Vicario, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Rodrigo Bentancur, Ben Davies and Wilson Odobert all still out. Timo Werner has also joined the long list of players out.
