Kai Havertz was the villain of the piece against Man United on Sunday when he missed a number of gilt-edged chances as well as a crucial shootout penalty, though the German did muster 5 attempts in that FA Cup tie, hitting the target once. Havertz has had at least 1 shot on target in 9 of his last 10 appearances in all competitions and with Gabriel Jesus out injured, the languid attacker will have to shoulder extra responsibility in the final third on Wednesday. Back Havertz to test the keeper with at least 1 effort here.

William Saliba was involved in several skirmishes with Dominic Solanke in the last North London Derby and alongside drawing 2 fouls on that occasion, the French defender committed 2 of his own. Saliba will renew acquaintances with the same antagonist on Wednesday evening, so expect another combative battle between the pair. Saliba has given at least 1 free kick away in 5 of his last 6 Premier League appearances and bettors should consider the 23-year-old as an excellent foul-market candidate again.

September’s North London Derby winner Gabriel Magalhaes has been a lethal presence during set-piece routines for Arsenal and the 27-year-old has been averaging a superb 0.99 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League this season. More recently, the Brazilian defender had 3 shots in successive cup appearances against Newcastle and Man United, and Gabriel can be a nuisance again against Spurs. Look for the aerially dominant centre-back to clock 1 or more shots against Tottenham.

Antonin Kinsky put in a stunning performance on his debut for Tottenham in the club’s 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup last week, making 6 saves during an inspirational display between the sticks. The 21-year-old could be just as busy against Arsenal on Wednesday. Despite fluffing their lines, the Gunners drew 5 saves out of Man United keeper Altay Bayindir on Sunday and Kinsky’s reflexes might be just as severely tested. Back the youngster to make 4 or more saves at The Emirates Stadium.

North London Derby veteran Son Heung-Min has bagged 8 career goals in games against Arsenal and the 32-year-old fired in a brace when Tottenham last visited The Emirates Stadium (Sept ’23). The wide attacker, who has been averaging 1.24 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Premier League this term, is a devastating weapon on the counter-attack and his expertly timed runs could allow him to lodge at least 1 accurate attempt against the Gunners again.

Dominic Solanke has been putting himself about his season and the centre forward ranks second at Tottenham for total fouls committed in the Premier League since August (27). Solanke’s combative qualities were on show in his first North London Derby in September when he committed a game-high 4 fouls during altercations with the Gunners’ centre-backs. The 27-year-old won’t shirk away from physical duels in what promises to be a heated rematch on Wednesday and Solanke is backed to foul at least twice again.

Slick Swede Dejan Kulusevski’s bursts through the middle and final thirds for Tottenham having been drawing plenty of fouls from unsettled opponents this season and the 24-year-old is tipped to draw 2+ fouls in Wednesday’s North London Derby. Kulusevski has been drawing 1.53 fouls per 90 minutes this season but was fouled an increased 3 and 4 times respectively in outings against Liverpool and Man United last month, and the attacking midfielder could be singled out for rough treatment in another high-profile fixture here.

Arsenal have built up a reputation of being very solid defensively and whilst that is true when we look at the season as a whole, it’s been unravelling a little in recent weeks. Arsenal were knocked out of the FA Cup by Man United and are on the verge of exiting the Carabao Cup after a 2-0 defeat in the first leg of the semi final.

Raya was forced into making 3 saves in Arsenal’s cup defeat last time out, he also had to make 3 in Arsenal’s most recent Premier League game against Brighton. Across the season, Raya is averaging 2.45 saves per 90 but this has increased at points during the campaign against the bigger sides.

Furthermore, whilst this average is quite impressive, it is still a marked increase on the 1.44 saves per 90 he averaged across the entirety of last campaign, suggesting he’s having to bail out his team far more often this season.

Raya was forced into making 5 saves in Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Tottenham earlier in the season, and Ange Postecoglu has remained committed to pushing on with his exciting brand of football despite absences to key players defensively which should see Tottenham have opportunities at the Emirates.

Tottenham are currently averaging 5.7 shots on target per game, a record only bested by Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea this season. Tottenham also drew 3 saves from Raya in this fixture last season.
