Toby Alderweireld, Harry Winks and Danny Rose all returned to the starting line-up after lengthy absences through injury for Spurs but they are unlikely to start two games in one week. Son Heung-Min was the only player to start both the game at Anfield and the match against Newport, with Spurs making ten changes, and the big guns are all set to return to face Arsenal. From the team that started against Liverpool, Mousa Dembele could be replaced by Victor Wanyama after his stunning strike in that game.
Harry Kane's penalty against Liverpool was his 31st goal of the season and also assisted three goals. Dele Alli (nine goals, 11 assists), Son Heung-Min (11 goals, eight assists) and Christian Eriksen (eight goals, eight assists) have all been in top form too.
It is now 11 games unbeaten in all competitions for Tottenham Hotspur.
After a goalscoring debut against Everton, new signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is likely to continue up top for Arsenal, with new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan also set to continue after his first start in that game. Alex Iwobi retained his place in the starting XI against Everton and is set to continue on the wing. Nacho Monreal and Petr Cech have also been declared fit.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has wasted little time getting stuck into the Premier League, with a goal on his debut last weekend. That was the former Borussia Dortmund man's 22nd goal of the season. Mesut Ozil has seven assists to his name this season.
Arsenal have won three of their last five matches in all competitions, but they are yet to win away games in 2018. Their last two away games saw them suffer defeats - 3-1 at Swansea after a 2-1 loss at Bournemouth.
Arsenal know anything less than a win at Wembley on Saturday will put a serious - and perhaps insurmountable - dent in their Champions League qualification hopes.
Fit-again Aaron Ramsey also showed what he can do with a hat-trick in the thrashing of the Toffees – but Spurs are a very different proposition.
Defensively, they are much better - they are well-equipped to keep Arsenal quiet.
Up front, forget Aubameyang - Spurs have one of the most in-form strikers in Europe in Harry Kane, who banged in his 31st of the season last time out.
Arsenal beat Tottenham last time out but Spurs are hungry for revenge, and in good form after a run of 11 games without defeat. While Arsenal were running riot against Everton - but Spurs have not conceded at Wembley in four consecutive matches now, and even Arsenal's new-look front line will find it tough to break them down.
Score Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 Arsenal
