Arsenal return to Premier League action this afternoon and it's a big game first up after the international break.
The Gunners welcome Tottenham Hotspur to the Emirates Stadium in the latest instalment of the North London Derby, but a certain task that Mikel Arteta faces on every single matchday has been made easier with Cedric Soares and Emile Smith Rowe still sidelined through injury.
Following plenty of outgoings during the final month of the summer transfer window which saw the likes of Nicolas Pepe, Hector Bellerin and Ainsley Maitland-Niles all depart either permanently or on loan, the Arsenal manager is now working with a slightly smaller squad.
