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

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is unsure if Ben White will be fit and available for Thursday's North London derby with Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The centre-back has missed the Gunners' last two matches with a tight hamstring and will need assessing alongside Bukayo Saka, who was forced off in the win over Leeds United.

Thomas Partey and Kieran Tierney are still out for Arsenal, who will confirm a top-four finish and place in the Champions League with victory against their bitter rivals.

Takehiro Tomiyasu shifted across to left-back against Leeds and could do so again here, with Arteta unlikely to trust Nuno Tavares in a game of this magnitude.

Furthermore, Rob Holding does not deserve to be dropped from the heart of defence alongside Gabriel Magalhaes after his recent performances, so Arteta could opt to use Ben White at right-back over Cedric Soares if the Englishman is fit enough.

Mohamed Elneny and Granit Xhaka have stepped up to the plate in Partey's absence and will form their partnership again here, while creator-in-chief Martin Odegaard occupies the number 10 role.

Gabriel Martinelli did everything right except finish against Leeds at the weekend, but the Brazilian should still hold his place on the left as Bukayo Saka continues on the opposite side, assuming he can shake off his injury scare.

While Alexandre Lacazette loves a goal against Tottenham, Eddie Nketiah is the man in form at the minute with four goals in his last five Premier League games and has done more than enough to warrant a start in the derby.

Arsenal possible starting lineup: Ramsdale; White, Holding, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Xhaka, Elneny; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Nketiah
