Fixture: Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 14:05 (UK time)
Arsenal have announced their starting side and substitutes to welcome rivals Tottenham Hotspur to the Emirates Stadium for the north London derby.
The Gunners start the afternoon sitting three points adrift of Tottenham in their bid to battle to a top four finish this season.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery opted to rest a host of regulars in midweek in the Europa League as he aims to have a fresh team to take on Spurs.
Emery picks Bernd Leno in goal, while in defence he opts for a back three of Rob Holding, Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi. Granit Xhaka and Lucas Torreira will try to control midfield, while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alex Iwobi support Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
If the Arsenal boss wants to make changes then he can look to his bench, with options available including Alexandre Lacazette and Aaron Ramsey.
