Timber, Gabriel, Tomiyasu - Arsenal injury news for Tottenham North London derby

Arsenal were handed a significant boost on Wednesday night after Liverpool suffered a near-fatal defeat to fierce rivals Everton at Goodison Park. For the second time in three weeks, the Gunners' title rivals failed to keep pace with Mikel Arteta's side after their home disappointment against Crystal Palace.

The North London club have bounced back from their slip-up at home to Aston Villa with success in their last two outings — including the emphatic win over city rivals Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino's side suffered their heaviest defeat of the season as they were hit for five.

This Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur host Arsenal in the North London derby in a battle that could have a serious impact on the title race, and also the battle for European football. Neither side could be separated in the reverse fixture as Son Heung-min's double helped Ange Postecoglu's side earn a point at the Emirates Stadium.

It will be Arsenal's fifth game in two weeks with Arteta looking for his side to recover quickly ahead of the final matches of the campaign. The fitness of the squad is a huge boost currently though with no fresh problems for Arteta to worry about.

Here, football.london has the latest from the Arsenal treatment room.

In the latter stages of Tuesday's emphatic win over Chelsea, Gabriel signalled that he needed some treatment before going down clutching his ankle. He completed the match despite it appearing that Jakub Kiwior was set to replace him.
