Cedric In, Bellerin Out: Arsenal’s Predicted Starting Line Up To Face Tottenham

Despite dropping points at home to Leicester on Tuesday, Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta would have been happy with the performance against the Foxes, for the most part.

With that in mind, the Gunners are unlikely to make too many changes when they line up against Tottenham in the North London derby tomorrow.


One selection decision that Arteta may ponder could be at right wingback. Cedric started the 2-0 win against Wolves and the Portuguese international could come in for Hector Bellerin if the Gunners boss chooses to rotate.

The rest of the team is likely to stay the same, though, with Shkodran Mustafi, David Luiz and Sead Kolasinac keeping their places in the backline.

Granit Xhaka and Dani Ceballos have formed an excellent partnership in the middle of the park so Lucas Torreira may have to wait to get his first start since the restart.

With Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli unavailable, the frontline of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Bukayo Saka will likely to deployed once again, with Nicolas Pepe having to settle for a spot on the bench.

Arsenal’s Predicted XI To Face Spurs:

Martinez, Cedric, Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac, Tierney, Ceballos, Xhaka, Saka, Lazazette, Aubameyang
