Tottenham v Arsenal (12.45): Cesc Fabregas is on the bench against rivals Tottenham at White Hart Lane as the focus on Arsenal switches back to the pitch.
The spotlight had been on matters behind the scenes at the Emirates Stadium this week following the departure of David Dein, the vice-chairman credited for his part in bringing success to the club.
Fabregas, one of the youngsters developed by manager Arsene Wenger during Dein's time at the club, has been struggling with a virus and is replaced by Freddie Ljungberg.
Spurs bring back Ledley King for his second appearance since sustaining feet problems on St Stephen's Day.
Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane had an inflammation of the knee earlier in the week but is fit to start for the hosts.
