On Sunday, September 1, 2019, Arsenal will host Tottenham at Emirates Stadium in the highly anticipated north London derby.
The match comes after both teams suffered defeats in matchweek three, with Arsenal losing 3-1 to Liverpool at Anfield and Tottenham falling 1-0 to Newcastle at home.
Unai Emery and Mauricio Pochettino, the managers of Arsenal and Tottenham respectively, will be looking to outwit each other tactically in the derby.
However, both teams face significant challenges ahead of the match. Tottenham is dealing with a major injury crisis, with up to four players set to miss the clash, including Kyle Walker-Peters and Juan Foyth.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's manager, Unai Emery, has hinted at starting Nicolas Pepe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Alexandre Lacazette in the north London derby.
With the absence of Nacho Monreal, Sead Kolasinac could make his first appearance of the new season, partnering with David Luiz, Sokratis, and Maitland-Niles in defense.
Granit Xhaka, Dani Ceballos, and Guendozi could be drawn in midfield, with Aubameyang, Lacazette, and Pepe all starting upfront.
