Highlights Tottenham haven’t played since their thrashing by Newcastle and Ange Postecoglou could make changes to his team.
Arsenal will be well rested too, with five days separating their 5-0 win over Chelsea and their trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham right-back Pedro Porro was substituted early on in the second half against Newcastle and Ange Postecoglou confirmed the withdrawal was due to an injury concern. He said:
