Expected Arsenal lineup to face Tottenham Hotspur with all eyes on Nketiah

The long waited North London Derby is almost here with us and Arsenal will face Tottenham Hotspur in a match that many are looking forward to due to its implications for both clubs. A win for Arsenal gets them UEFA Champions League football and winning for Tottenham Hotspur gives them a chance of a top four finish.

And so we take a look at the predicted lineup to face Spurs with all eyes on Eddie Nketiah who has been on form for a while now.

PREDICTED ARSENAL LINEUP TO FACE TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

TEXT: Ramsdale, Tavares, Gabriel, White, Tomiyasu, Xhaka, Elneny, Martinelli, Odegaard, Saka, Nketiah

FORMATION: 4-2-3-1

GOALKEEPING:

Aaron Ramsdale won over the no. 1 goalkeeping spot from Bernd Leno and he has never lost that spot as he has continually throughout the season put on great performances.

DEFENCE:

There has been rumours that Ben White might be back despite Arteta saying he is a doubt and so we expect the back four to consist of Tavares, Gabriel, White and Tomiyasu.

CENTRAL MIDFIELD:

Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka seemed a bit of an odd pairing at first but they have improved the gunners in the past few weeks.

ATTACKING MIDFIELD:

Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka who also Arteta called a doubt for the game will likely be in the starting squad that plays against Tottenham Hotspur. So Arsenal’s attacking three will consist Martinelli, Odegaard and Saka.

STRIKING:

Eddie Nketiah will have all the spot light on him as this is his change to start a North London Derby and with all different speculations on his future, he will wish to make an impression.
