Arsenal were eliminated from the Champions League by Bayern Munich and now the focus comes back to premier league.
Gunners are 7 points behind league leaders Chelsea with a game in a hand but a very tough games of run ahead.
On Sunday, Arsene Wenger’s men will face rivals Tottenham Hotspur at White Hart Lane.
Spurs lost their last game against Chelsea and will look to bounce back against their rivals at home. Under Tim Sherwood, Spurs have only lost one home game in PL that was the thrashing they received at the hands of Manchester City.
Arsenal defeated them at the Emirates earlier in the season and for them a win is must if they want to have any hope of winning the premier league.
As far as the team news is concerned, record signing Mesut Ozil limped off the field against Bayern Munich in midweek and should not be fit enough to be handed a start. Even if he is, the German must be rested on the bench.
Defensive midfielder Flamini should make his return to the starting XI after warming the bench vs Bayern.
Here is Arsenal’s probable starting XI vs Spurs.

To beat Spurs or any other teams, Arsenal need to be more organized and disciplined. We need to work on and capitalized on our set pieces which are supposed to be drilled. In offense, we need to be aware of our players’ position and draw opponents out of their position. Speedy wing play becomes important. Defensive midfielders must close down opponents and form the first line of defense. In the Bayern games we left big gaps in the middle in both the first and second games for them to score. Such mistakes must be eliminated. Control the the midfield and pass more accurately. If we play like against Bayern second game we can stop Spurs and even win it.
Go Arsenal go!
To beat hot spurs this weekend I think arsenal should use the squad that played against bayern in the eufa champions league
Arsenal have what it takes to beat spur,and that is exactly what need on sunday
Arsenal will beat spurs without ozil and cazorla will score prolific assist for Giroud..
I predicted a 3-0 win for arsenal at white hart lane..
Cannot start Flamini and Arteta together it doesn’t work. Put Arteta n the bench for rest put Ox in the middle with Flamini and start with Rosicky on the right. If need be Arteta can possibly come on for one of the wide players playing alongside Flamni and send the Ox out wide
Arsenal needs be focus& kos should handle Adebayor quiet out of de game, i think we need flamini in dis game to match Adebayor’s pace, chamber is a must player!.
