Defensive midfield: Lucas Torreira
The Uruguayan youngster gave the Gunners faithful a glimpse of what's in store ahead with his first-rate performances at the World Cup. And halfway through the season, it suffices to say he's delivered on that promise.
Trending
The 23-year old has grown into a steely presence at the base of the midfield and forged a terrific partnership with Granit Xhaka.
He has completed 1,402 passes in the league, which is the most in the team after the Swiss international and is hard to beat at duels.
Torreira also charges out of his lines at times, and his offensive instincts has seen him strike twice and assist another two.
Right attacking midfield: Henrikh Mkhitaryan
The Armenian international was having a difficult season, struggling to find his way in the starting XI and also offering no great shakes from the bench.
However, it went from bad to worse when he succumbed to a metatarsal fracture in December that kept him out of action for nearly two months.
But since making his return, things are on the upswing. In the last two games alone, he has had a hand in five goals - netting twice and assisting three in their victories over Bournemouth and Southampton.
Mkhitaryan looks to have his confidence (and shooting boots) back and is surely going to start against Spurs too.
Attacking midfield: Christian Eriksen
Mesut Ozil just blew away the cobwebs with a rejuvenated performance in the 5-1 crushing of Bournemouth. But to include him ahead of Eriksen solely on the basis of that would be very unfair to the Dane, who has quietly gone about his business as usual.
With five goals and nine assists in 25 appearances, Eriksen is involved a goal in every other game and don't forget, he's a big game player often stepping up to the challenge. However, he's never scored against Arsenal in 13 attempts.
Left attacking midfield: Son Heung-Min
The Korean deity shone brightly for his side at the World Cup, and even though he failed to emulate those heroics for his side in UAE at the Asia Cup, is enjoying arguably his best season with Spurs.
He has 11 goals and six assists to his name in 22 league appearances as Son's stock has gone through the roof.
His blistering offensive play perfectly complements that of Harry Kane as Tottenham have grown into a fiercely menacing outfit.
Son's movements in the attacking half and eye for pass helps create a chance out of the blue and he too has a brilliant record against Arsenal with three goals and assists each in five appearances.
