Overview
- Arsenal host Tottenham on Sunday in the Premier League, entering the derby as league leaders.
- Reports suggest Spurs could miss up to 12 first‑team players, with Mohammed Kudus nearing a return and four players close to suspension, including captain Cristian Romero who is one booking from a ban.
- Arsenal are hopeful of boosts with Martin Ødegaard targeting a return and Riccardo Calafiori expected to be available to start.
- Gabriel Magalhães’ status remains unclear after an international‑duty injury, with conflicting reports describing a potential thigh layoff versus a groin/adductor concern.
- Bookmakers price Arsenal as clear favourites, with some markets around 1.40 for a home win and 7.60–9.20 for Spurs, even as previews note Tottenham’s strong away form as a possible threat on the break.
