The Premier League returns after the international break as leaders Arsenal take on rivals Tottenham in the North London Derby on Sunday.
Both teams have seen their injury lists lengthen during the break, with potentially twenty players unavailable for this game.
Mikel Arteta has arguably lost Arsenal's most important player this season, with Gabriel Magalhães coming off injured for Brazil and is set to spend at least a month on the sidelines. Riccardo Calafiori is also a doubt after returning injured from Italy's camp, but he's expected to make a quick return.
Viktor Gyökeres could also be back in the mix after missing Sweden's games with a hamstring issue.
As for Spurs, Thomas Frank may be without 12 players from his squad, with Pape Matar Sarr exiting Senegal's game with a knock, while Lucas Bergvall and Ben Davies aggravated existing problems while on national duty. Randal Kolo Muani has reportedly trained with a special mask after suffering a broken jaw, but Frank is unlikely to risk him despite the magnitute of the fixture.
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games against Spurs, having won five of those. With Manchester City featuring on Saturday, Arsenal's lead could be down to one point ahead of the derby. Spurs have the added motivation of closing up to five points behind Arsenal with a win.
Mikel Arteta saw his side go into the international break with a stretched squad, who dropped points away to Sunderland, while Tottenham also grabbed a point in a chaotic draw at home to Manchester United.
Here is everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's game.
