This week, Tottenham and Arsenal will play in the Premier League. Here’s the latest on team news, expected lineups, & match predictions.
The north London derby between Tottenham Hotspur & is one of the matchups in the league. It’s at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend, with both teams having dropped some points in their first three matches this season.
Arsenal has some key players out. Declan Rice was suspended after a red card against Brighton & Hove Albion. Plus, Arsenal's captain Martin Odegaard got hurt while playing with Norway on international duty.
This leaves Mikel Arteta in a bit of a pickle. He might have to put Jorginho in for Rice and possibly move Kai Havertz to fill Odegaard's spot in midfield.
As for Spurs, they might struggle to score goals. Harry Kane scored two goals while making his 100th appearance for England this week. Spurs fans surely felt a bit sad watching him play for Bayern Munich instead.
Tottenham's got Dominic Solanke & Richarlison both sitting out due to injury. This already made them shift Dejan Kulusevski into a central role last match, which ended in a loss against Newcastle United. It's tough to find where the goals are gonna come from without their star strikers.
