It’s the shock of the weekend in the Premier League! This Sunday, Arsenal welcomes its great rival, Tottenham, to its pitch at the Emirates Stadium for the 6th day of the English championship. A highly anticipated North London Derby in the kingdom between two teams in great form, playing attractive football since the start of the season. And for good reason, Gunners (4th, 13pts) and Spurs (2nd, 13pts), currently neck and neck in the Premier League standings, have not yet experienced the smell of defeat in the championship and have continued to ride their excellent dynamic last weekend after the international break. Arsenal in fact dominated Everton by the smallest of margins (0-1), while Tottenham got the better of Sheffield United (2-1). The objective is clear for both teams, to emerge victorious from this London Derby and thus get ahead of their rival in the rankings.
This part will be followed live with live commentary on the French Football Weekly website from 3:00 p.m. For this new outing in the Premier League, three days after winning his first match of the season in C1 against PSV Eindhoven (4-0), Mikel Arteta decided to opt for a tactical scheme organized in 4-3-3. Unsurprisingly, William Saliba is aligned in central defense with Gabriel. The midfield is made up of Declan Rice, Fabio Vieira and Martin Odegaard, while Buyako Saka, Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah start in attack. On the Spurs side, Ange Postecoglou has not changed his good habits since his arrival and is aligning a 4-2-3-1 system. The offensive line is led by Brennan Johnson, starting point guard. The latter will be supported by Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison and Heung-Min Son. Respectively former LOSC and FC Metz players, Ives Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr are lined up in front of the defense.
The essays :
Arsenal: Raya – White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko – Odegaard, Rice, Vieira – Saka, G.Jesus, Nketiah.
Tottenham: Vicario – Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie – Sarr, Bissouma – Kulusevski, Maddison, Solomon – Son.
