Mikel Arteta expects Ben White to be fit and available for Thursday's crunch north London derby in a huge boost for Arsenal.
The Gunners gave themselves a four-point lead over rivals Tottenham Hotspur by beating Leeds United 2-1 on Sunday, and head into the hotly-anticipated grudge match with the chance to secure Champions League football next season. On a less positive note, there were doubts that White would be involved after missing their last two matches with a hamstring injury.
But Arteta has now provided a promising update, having been asked whether the Arsenal defender will be in contention for their mouthwatering trip to Spurs. "I think so," the Gunners boss replied post-match. "He's starting to do a little bit of work on the pitch. We want everyone available."
