Arsenal host Tottenham at the Emirates and Arsene Wenger has surprisingly left Jack Wilshere on the bench, preferring Denilson in midfield. Koscielny comes straight back in after suspension and Van Persie still isn’t ready for a start.
Harry Redknapp has left Peter Crouch on the bench with Pavyluchenko starting alone up front. Aaron Lennon is fit to start on the right but Defoe only makes the bench.
