Confirmed line-ups: Arsenal v Tottenham: Ceballos dropped, Torreira starts

By on September 1, 2019

Arsenal need to bounce back quickly from our defeat to Liverpool as we welcome Tottenham to the Emirates this afternoon.

Unai Emery has unleashed PAL as Nicolas Pepe is joined by Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in attack. Dani Ceballos makes way as Lucas Torreira comes in to line-up alongside Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi in midfield for Arsenal.

Mesut Ozil returns to the bench where he’s joined by Joe Willock – who’s unlucky to be dropped – while Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Reiss Nelson are also named among the substitutes.

Sead Kolasinac starts at left-back in place of Nacho Monreal following his move to Real Sociedad.

These are the line-ups:

Arsenal

Leno, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Luiz, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Torreira, Guendouzi, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Subs: Mkhitaryan, Ceballos, Ozil, Chambers, Nelson, Martinez, Willock

Tottenham

Lloris, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose, Winks, Sissoko, Eriksen, Lamela, Son, Kane

Subs: Gazzaniga, Aurier, Davies, Skipp, Dele, Lucas, Lo Celso
