Arteta gets major boost ahead of Arsenal game vs Tottenham

Arsenal have been impressive in the Premier League lately as they recently defeated Leeds United on a 2-1 scoreline.

Following their latest win, the Gunners are four points clear away at the fourth spot on the EPL table.

The Gunners would now face a more serious counterpart in Tottenham Hotspurs in their next match.

Ahead of the game, club’s manager, Mikel Arteta, has said he expects to have Ben White fit for their trip to Tottenham Hotspur on Thursday.

White was unavailable in the last two league fixtures against West Ham and Leeds United.

The Gunners recorded victories in the two games and now sit four points ahead of Spurs going into the North London Derby.

Speaking after their 2-1 win over Leeds, Arteta was asked about White’s fitness.

He replied: “I think so [he’ll be available against Tottenham].

“He’s starting to do a little bit of work on the pitch. We want everyone available.”

On the game itself, Arteta added: “I cannot wait to play that match”.

Tottenham also head to the match after a 1-1 draw against Liverpool over the weekend.
