After a two week layoff, we are finally back with the big North London derby. Arsenal is in 6th place - Mind the Gap - while we are in joint second with United (only goal difference separates us).
We have a young and vibrant squad, while the Gunners have discontent amongst their ranks. Of course, we mustn't let that fall us as they are still a danger, as anybody in the Premier League is. Arsenal is fighting their demons, while we are building with something special and exciting. I can't see a draw and I know both teams will be fighting for pride and three points.
Even though we are away I see us winning by at least 3 goals, probably to their one. We have to, it is a matter of pride and of course three points.
TEAM NEWS
Olivier Giroud is IN doubt for the Gunners, as he is still being assessed after a thigh injury during France's 2-0 win over Wales on Friday night. Danny Welbeck is expected to be available.
Goalkeeper David Ospina is due back from a groin problem but with Petr Cech almost certain to start against Tottenham, he will probably have to wait for next week's Europa League (Thursday) trip to Cologne.
Spurs
Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Hugo Lloris and Harry Winks all returned to full training on Thursday after undergoing 10 days of rehabilitation. They are expected to be available.
Toby Alderweireld has been ruled out until after Christmas with a hamstring injury. But I don't think that will unsettle us as he went off early in the Real Madrid game and that didn't stop us performing spectacularly. What was the score? Oh, yes... 3-1.
So it only leave me to wish you a safe journey and get behind your team; whether that be at the match or in front of a TV screen.
Yours, Don Scully
