Arteta’s squad against Tottenham revealed as Conte’s men determined to close the gap

Arsenal will meet Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday evening, hoping for all three points to ensure their return to the Champions League.

With two games remaining, a victory would put them ahead of their North London rivals.

However, their Champions League credentials will be put to the test at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where the Lilywhites are desperate to close the gap on Arsenal to a point.

Mikel Arteta’s side enters the highly anticipated derby as the form team, having won four consecutive games.

Arteta will have to decide whether to start Ben White, who has missed their past two games against West Ham and Leeds due to injury.

However, according to Football London, this is Arteta’s entire team for Thursday’s crucial derby.

Goalkeepers: Aaron Ramsdale, Bernd Leno, Arthur Okonkwo

Defenders: Ben White (doubt), Gabriel Magalhães, Rob Holding, Nuno Tavares, Cedric Soares, Zak Swanson, Mazeed Ogungbo

Midfielders: Granit Xhaka, Mohamed Elneny, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Martin Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe, Marcelo Flores, Charlie Patino

Forwards: Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette, Eddie Nketiah
