I hope we win.

Arsenal's new £15m signing Andrey Arshavin is likely to be included in the Gunners squad for their trip to rivals Tottenham on Sunday.

The Russian forward has received a work permit in time to feature and Emmanuel Eboue is fit, but Abou Diaby is banned.

Robbie Keane will make his return in a Tottenham shirt as captain after his deadline-day switch from Liverpool.

Winger David Bentley is suspended and long-term absentee Alan Hutton remains sidelined with a foot injury.

Tottenham (from): Cudicini, Gomes, Alnwick, Corluka, Dawson, Woodgate, Assou-Ekotto, Chimbonda, Lennon, Huddlestone, Jenas, Zokora, Modric, Keane, Pavlyuchenko, Campbell, Bent, Bale, Taarabt, Rocha, Giovani,

Arsenal (from): Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Toure, Clichy, Nasri, Denilson, Song, Eboue, Adebayor, Van Persie, Fabianski, Djourou, Gibbs, Wilshere, Vela, Bendtner, Ramsey, Arshavin.

Tottenham's new captain Robbie Keane:
"It's a relegation battle and it is our responsibility to get ourselves out of it.

"The lads have been low on confidence but it's up to us to get this club back in the top 10, where we should be.

"It's so close that a couple of wins and you are right back up there."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger on Arshavin:
"He is not fit at the moment and I have reservations about playing him in a game of this intensity.

"The worst thing for a player would be to play when you're not ready and get injured before having kicked a ball.

"I will see what kind of shape he is in on Saturday to see if he will play. We are not in a hurry with him."
