Can Conor Gallagher Shine in Derby Against Arsenal?
Igor Tudor faces challenges with a Tottenham Hotspur team dealing with multiple injuries as they prepare for the clash against Arsenal. A key player Tudor hopes to utilize effectively is midfielder Conor Gallagher.
The former Chelsea player had a tough start at Spurs, managing only one assist in his matches, which came during a 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
With 18 goals in his Premier League career, Gallagher needs to perform well against Arsenal to help his team secure a victory.
He must focus on his positioning and teamwork to disrupt Arsenal’s midfield while also using his instincts to capitalize on scoring opportunities.
Can Viktor Gyokeres Revive Arsenal’s Spirits?
Viktor Gyokeres has had some disappointing outings in Arsenal’s recent Premier League draws, but he’s likely one of the standout players for the team during their rough start in 2026.
The Swedish forward has netted six goals for Arsenal this year, including three in his last four league matches.
Gyokeres needs to be bolder when attacking and leverage his strength and agility to unsettle the Spurs defense.
If he can effectively finish scoring chances, he might lead Arsenal to a significant derby win and help get their title race back on track.
