Arsenal take on Tottenham in the North London Derby but this time around it will be played at Wembley Stadium, not White Hart Lane. The change in venue could be a good omen for the Gunners who are unbeaten in their last nine games at Wembley. The Gunners have however, failed to beat a top-five side in their last 15 matches. Spurs meanwhile are undefeated in their last 12 Premier league games at home. Arsene Wenger was handed a major boost heading into the clash after Petr Cech was passed fit and has made the starting line-up. Cech was an injury doubt as was Nacho Monreal due to illness but he has also recovered and got the nod. Danny Welbeck is back in the contention after recovering from a hip injury but will not start. The attack will be comprised of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang upfront with Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan also starting. The playmaker of Turkish origin has returned from a short break to Istanbul last week and is match fit. Alexandre Lacazette has been benched again meaning we will have to wait a bit longer to see the LMAO in action. Aaron Ramsey became the 20th Arsenal player to score a hat-trick in the 5-1 win over Everton but has not made the squad against Tottenham.
