Arsenal have this evening provided a fitness update on the club’s squad, ahead of the fast approaching North London Derby.
NLD showdown
Rivalries are set to be renewed in 24 hours’ time, when Arsenal welcome Spurs to the Emirates, for a Premier League clash.
It is the visitors who will head into proceedings in the better form of the two sides, having put a shaky spell firmly behind them courtesy of 5 successive victories over the last couple of weeks.
The latest of these came on Thursday night, when the Lilywhites downed Dinamo Zagreb by two goals to nil to put one foot in the quarter-finals of the Europa League.

Arsenal, though, will too be buoyed by another crucial European victory during the week.
The Gunners, who entered their meeting with Olympiacos in search of a bounce-back result following a 1-1 stalemate with Burnley, managed exactly that, courtesy of a 3-1 win.

‘All players available’
And, if the latest personnel news stemming from the red half of north London on Saturday is anything to go by, then Mikel Arteta and co. will no doubt be confident in their chances of bagging a 2nd successive positive result tomorrow evening.
In a post across the club’s social media platforms a short time ago, Arsenal provided a team news update on their first-team squad.
And the news proved as encouraging as Arteta could have asked for, with not a single member of the Gunners’ panel unavailable for selection:
There are no health or injury issues to report following Thursday’s match in Athens against Olympiacos.
All players in the men’s first-team squad are currently available for selection.
Good news ahead of Sunday 👍#ARSTOT | #NorthLondonDerby
