ARSENAL have been handed a major boost ahead of tonight's crunch north London derby against Tottenham.

Both Bukayo Saka and Ben White are in the squad to face Antonio Conte's side, with a win enough to secure Champions League football next season.

Kick off for tonight's game is scheduled for 7.45pm, and fans will find out if either Saka and White are fit enough to start an hour before the first whistle.
