Mikel Arteta confirms big injury boost for Spurs clash

The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League with 77 points, but they are just one ahead of Manchester City who have a game in hand. They need to keep on winning to stay alive in the title race and ahead of the north London derby, Arteta has confirmed a fresh injury boost. Timber has been recovering from a serious knee injury for several weeks, and he is now 'very close' to making his comeback on Sunday. The Dutchman recently had a game with the Under 21s and he is now anticipated to make the matchday squad against Tottenham . Timber is unlikely to be picked in the starting XI, but he could get the nod off the bench if Arsenal find themselves in a good position. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta currently has a fully fit squad at their disposal for the final four games of the Premier League campaign.
