Arsenal starting lineups vs Tottenham amid Declan Rice agreement and Kai Havertz curveball

Mikel Arteta could make lots of changes to the Arsenal starting lineup after another unconvincing performance

Mikel Arteta could raise a few eyebrows with his North London Derby team selection. The Arsenal boss will be determined to restore his side’s lead at the top of the Premier League when he locks horns with Igor Tudor at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

The Gunners squandered the chance to extend their lead in the title race on Wednesday night, conceding a late equaliser to Wolves at Molineux. Arsenal could’ve gone seven points clear, but instead they gifted Manchester City the chance to slash their advantage to just two points.

While Pep Guardiola is in Arteta’s rear-view mirror, they cannot leapfrog the Gunners this weekend. Arsenal may fancy their chances against Spurs, having had a disastrous start to the year.
