Sterling starts! Arsenal and Tottenham name NLD starting XIs | OneFootball

Arsenal and Tottenham face off this evening at the Emirates Stadium, in what will be a hotly contested North London Derby.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has Jurrien Timber after he suffered an injury scare during the FA Cup tie with Manchester United at the weekend.

Meanwhile, it's been confirmed that Gabriel Jesus has suffered an ACL injury and is therefore added to the list of long-term absentees.

Here's how the home side line up.

Arsenal: Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly, Partey, Rice, Odegaard, Trossard, Sterling, Havertz.

Spurs will have to do without Rodrigo Bentancur, as he continues his recovery from a concussion sustained against Liverpool in League Cup action, and Timo Werner suffered a hamstring issue during the FA Cup win over Tamworth at the weekend.

Here's what boss Ange Postecoglu has gone for with his starting XI.

Who will come out on top tonight?
