Fixture: Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 12:00 (UK time)
Arsenal have officially confirmed their starting line-up and substitutes to play host to north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League clash this afternoon.
The Gunners know that victory over Spurs today would send them top of the Premier League table after Manchester City dropped two points by drawing with Middlesbrough on Saturday.
Arsene Wenger's men head into the clash on the back of a come-from-behind 3-2 win away at Ludogorets Razgrad in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Looking to get the job done once again, the French boss picks Alexis Sanchez to lead the line, with support from Mesut Ozil, Alex Iwobi and Theo Walcott. Francis Coquelin and Granit Xhaka will look to boss midfield.
Shkodran Mustafi and Laurent Koscielny form the central defensive pairing, while on the bench Wenger can call for Olivier Giroud if he needs to bring on another striker. Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are also amongst the substitutes.

Cech, Bellerin, Mustafi, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Xhaka, Walcott, Ozil, Iwobi, Sanchez
Substitutes: Ospina, Gibbs, Ramsey, Paulista, Elneny, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud
