Arsenal travel to Wembley on Saturday in a bid to drag Tottenham into the battle for a top four finish.

Spurs had looked nailed on to return to the Champions League next season. Mauricio Pochettino’s side were 10 points ahead of the Gunners, but back-to-back defeat has helped Arsenal closed the gap to four ahead of Saturday’s huge game.

Head coach Unai Emery hopes that Laurent Koscielny will recover in time from the injury he suffered late on in the 5-1 thumping of Bournemouth.

After an impressive performance filling in, Carl Jenkinson will be working on keeping his place, though both Stephan Lichtsteiner (back) and Ainsley Maitland-Niles (illness) could return.

Spurs could remain without the injured Dele Alli and ill Eric Dier.

Arsenal have lost on their last two visits to Tottenham. If there was ever any room for added motivation in the NLD, a win would see us close the gap to just one point.

Predictions, Gooners? Let us know in the comments…
