Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side will be licking their wounds ahead of the visit of Tottenham in the Premier League on Wednesday after suffering two domestic cup setbacks in the last seven days.
The Gunners will have a huge challenge on their hands to break their trophyless run after losing in the FA Cup third round against Man United on Sunday. Prior to that, Arsenal had suffered a 2-0 home loss against Newcastle in the EFL Cup.
Tottenham managed to secure their spot in the fourth round of the FA Cup, but they were forced into extra time by National League Tamworth. But, confidence levels within the camp should be high after some decent cup results.

Arsenal Team News
Arteta will continue to point to injury issues for his side’s poor form in recent weeks. Bukayo Saka isn’t likely to return until September, while Gabriel Jesus is set for a spell on the sidelines. The only other experienced players out are Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu.
Possible Lineup
David Raya (GK); Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli
Tottenham Team News
The visitors continue to have a lengthy injury list. Rodrigo Bentancur was stretched off against Liverpool last week, while Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Destiny Udogie aren’t set to return until next month.
Possible Lineup
Antonin Kinsky (GK); Pedro Porro, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray, Djed Spence, Yves Bissouma, Pape Sarr, Lucas Bergvall, Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Heung Min Son
Arsenal vs. Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham’s away record in this fixture is extremely poor, losing on 18 of their last 31 trips to Arsenal.
However, the Gunners have clear issues in the final third this season, and that would be an issue when backing the hosts at such a short price. Therefore, a score draw could be a viable outcome on Wednesday.
