Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Arsenal could line up for Sunday's North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

Arsenal attacker Bukayo Saka is expected to be fit and raring to go for Sunday's North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The 21-year-old sparked concern when he came off injured in Monday's 3-0 FA Cup win over Oxford United, but Mikel Arteta played down any fears of a layoff for the attacker after the game.

Emile Smith Rowe also made his first appearance since September against Oxford after recovering from groin surgery, leaving Gabriel Jesus (knee) and Reiss Nelson (thigh) as Arsenal's only two absentees.

The final third should be where no changes occur from Monday's cup victory, as Saka, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli link up once more, with Nketiah aiming to build on a tally of four goals in four games during the absence of Jesus.

Failing to take yet another opportunity to impress at Oxford, Albert Sambi Lokonga will drop back down to the bench for Thomas Partey, while Granit Xhaka comes in for Mohamed Elneny, whose header opened the scoring on Monday.

Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko will return to their full-back roles over Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney, while Gabriel Magalhaes will hold his spot in the middle of the backline.

Rob Holding captained the side at the Kassam Stadium but now prepares to make way for the returning William Saliba, as Matt Turner - who once again did not put a foot wrong on Monday - hands the gloves back over to Aaron Ramsdale.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah
