Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou are going through a major shock crisis, but Premier League matches don’t stop for anyone.

Liverpool’s draw with Nottingham Jungle gives the Gunners the chance to move to within four points of the league’s top spot, but with Gabriel Jesus the true member of the sidelined attack, they will look to score despite Spurs’ defensive woes.

Arguments
Arsenal: While some players like Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White are on the back end of the returns, the attack suffers without Bukayo Saka and Jesus. Even Ethan Nwaneri is still not able to return after scoring his first Premier League goal for the Gunners. Jurrien Wood and Riccardo Calafiori could reinforce the defence, but it is not yet hidden whether Arteta wants to go for the duo with a game over the weekend and the next Champions League on the horizon.
Arsenal predicted the XI: David Raya, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel, William Saliba, Thomas Partey, Mikel Merino, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard
Tottenham: Richarlison is also the only returning player for Tottenham as their defense will be without Ben Davies, Cristian Romero, Future Udogie, Micky van de Ven and first-choice goalkeeper Gugliemo Vicaro. Pace Spurs were doing everything they could to get ahead, it makes sense why they would try with so much in their marginalized core, but Postecoglou’s men will want to have the option.
Tottenham predicted XI: Antonin Kinsky, Djed Spence, Archie Grey, Radu Dragusin, Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall, Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr, Heung-min Son, Dominic Solanke, Dejan Kulusevski
Prediction
Since this is a competition, the margins may be close, however, Tottenham will get a draw and then push Arsenal to the limit. Choose: Arsenal 2, Tottenham 2
