Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith believes Mikel Arteta has ‘plenty of quality options’ when it comes to replacing Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice in the North London derby this weekend.
The Gunners travel to arch-rivals Tottenham on Sunday with both sides looking to pick up three vital points to keep up with early pace-setters Manchester City and Liverpool.
However, Arsenal will be without the suspended Rice, who was shown a controversial second yellow card against Brighton prior to the international break.
