Arsenal team news: Latest squad updates and injury latest ahead of north London derby clash with Tottenham
Alexandre Lacazette is battling to be fit for the Gunners, while Mesut Ozil is hoping for a recall to the starting XI
Arsenal are sweating on the fitness of Alexandre Lacazette ahead of Sunday's Premier League north London derby clash with Tottenham.
The striker missed the Gunners’ 2-1 win at Bournemouth with a minor groin complaint and head coach Unai Emery will be keen for him to feature this weekend.
Emery is expected to ring the changes from Thursday’s comfortable 3-0 victory over Vorskla Poltava in the Europa League, in which academy youngsters Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Emile Smith-Rowe, Joe Willock and Eddie Nketiah were given opportunities to impress.
