Mikel Arteta is set to be able to call upon a number of returning Arsenal stars following the international break for the north London derby.
International breaks haven't always been kind to the Gunners, but supporters can take comfort in the fact that four players are set to return to the squad ahead of the highly anticipated North London Derby on Saturday, October 1. Tottenham are just a single point behind Arsenal in what is set to be a crucial game in the Premier League title race early on in the season.
Both teams have started strong after enjoying successful summer transfer windows with Arteta's side looking to seek revenge on their rivals after being pipped to Champions League qualification towards the end of last term. Arsenal have the home advantage on this occasion heading into a busy month of October in which the Gunners will play nine games including games against Liverpool and PSV Eindhoven.
