Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has confirmed a double fitness boost ahead of the Premier League derby against Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.The Gunners are presently six points

Mikel Arteta has backed Raheem Sterling to step up for Arsenal and make an impact in the absence of Bukayo Saka. Arsenal are set to be without Saka until at least March after the winger tore his hamstring last month and underwent surgery.

There is never a good time to lose a north London derby but for both Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou a defeat on Wednesday would only serve to further rile fanbases whose murmurs of discontent have grown more audible.
