Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has copied his Tottenham counterpart Antonio Conte by offering a coy response when asked for an injury update.
The Gunners head into the huge clash against Spurs top of the Premier League by a single point, with the Lilywhites nipping at their heels along with reigning champions Manchester City. Thomas Partey, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kieran Tierney are set to be part of the matchday squad after Arteta revealed that the trio have recovered from knocks picked up whilst away on international duty.
Conte had praised the Spaniard for the job he has done and continues to do at the Emirates Stadium, as well as rating Arsenal's summer transfer business. Emile Smith Rowe, who scored the opening goal in the Gunners' 3-1 win in the same fixture last season, underwent successful surgery earlier this week to repair a long-term groin injury and will not be available until the new year.
