Dominic Solanke, Richarlison, and Yves Bissouma are all doubts for Ange Postecoglu’s side having picked up knocks in recent weeks.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Player To Watch - Kai Havertz

Since moving across London, Kai Havertz has proven a lot of football fans wrong and we would expect him to do the same in this game as well.

Havertz has claimed 2 goals and an assist for Arsenal so far this season. This adding to his 13 goals and 7 assists from last campaign.

A rejuvenated player under Mikel Arteta, if anyone is to impact on this game it is sure to be Kai Havertz.

They will be incredibly up for this game and will most likely come away with all 3 points. As they so often do against Spurs.
