All eyes on Wembley

Tottenham host Arsenal at Wembley this weekend aiming to crush the optimism created by the Gunners' new-look forward line while the looming absence of Riyad Mahrez will be missed by both teams at the Etihad.

Elsewhere, Antonio Conte's Chelsea welcome West Brom with the Italian manager's job looking precarious following embarrassing back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth and Watford. Leaders Manchester City host Leicester while Manchester United travel to Newcastle and Southampton welcome back Virgil van Dijk in a Liverpool shirt.

Excitement coursed around the Emirates last weekend as Arsenal's club-record signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored on his debut and Henrikh Mkhitaryan conjured three assists in a 5-1 demolition of Everton.

A tougher task awaits at Wembley on Saturday against a high-flying Tottenham side, who have not lost in 11 games.

Spurs are currently in fifth but would climb into third -- at least temporarily -- with victory and move seven points ahead of sixth-placed Arsenal.

Mauricio Pochettino's squad looks in fine shape to handle the demands of three competitions in the coming months with the return of Erik Lamela, Victor Wanyama, Harry Winks and Serge Aurier from injury to complement the arrival of Lucas Moura from PSG.

"Now we are 24 players and it will be tough to find a place in the starting XI for everyone -- 24 players that fight to be on the starting XI every single game," said the upbeat Spurs boss.

Antonio Conte said he would not lose sleep over the possibility of losing his job following a 4-1 defeat at Watford and he has a great chance to turn the corner with a match against bottom club West Brom at Stamford Bridge on Monday.

With a series of ominous-looking ties looming, failure to win could see a new boss put in charge for the business end of the season at a club used to dispensing with their managers just months after winning silverware.
