Ian Wright believes that Gabriel Jesus has now become completely undroppable for Arsenal as they prepare for the North London Derby.<\/p>\n

Arsenal news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n

Arsenal host fierce rivals Tottenham on Sunday in what is set to be an epic clash between two of the most in-form Premier League teams.<\/p>\n

The two sides go into the match with identical records \u2013 four wins and one draw \u2013 while victory will see them move to within two points of leaders Manchester City.<\/p>\n

Both Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou have rotated their teams a little during the start of this season and it is still unclear what the XIs will be for the game at the Emirates.<\/p>\n

Some of the dilemmas facing the Gunners include whether Aaron Ramsdale should return in between the sticks in the place of David Raya, or whether the underwhelming Kai Havertz should be dropped again in favour of Fabio Vieira.<\/p>\n

Another decision to be made is who to start up top, as while Gabriel Jesus is the main No.9, Arteta has rotated between the Brazilian, Eddie Nketiah, Leandro Trossard and Havertz.<\/p>\n

Though this has usually been influenced by injury issues, the manager could drop Jesus should he feel that one of the other forwards gives him something different tactically, but Arsenal legend Wright says the ex-City star is the only man for the job.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018If I\u2019m in Eddie\u2019s shoes, I make sure that when I\u2019m on there, whatever half chance I get I take it and I\u2019m ruthless with it,\u2019 the former striker said on the Wrighty\u2019s House podcast.<\/p>\n

\u2018Because if this guy [Jesus] is fit, he must play. He brings it to another place.<\/p>\n

\u2018I\u2019m not saying this as a knock to Eddie, but he has to do something like that so people aren\u2019t so worried when Jesus isn\u2019t around Jesus is an entity on his own with the way he\u2019s playing.<\/p>\n

\u2018His work rate, his finishing, everything he does: that is his main strength.<\/p>\n

\u2018Eddie\u2019s is taking chances. He could\u2019ve had a couple more at the start of the season to put him into that, and he has to do that, because if Jesus continues like he is there is no conversation, he\u2019s so good.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jesus has started just once this season but still managed to score twice in four appearances, averaging a goal every 54 minutes, while Nketiah has two goals in six games with a strike every 174 minutes.<\/p>\n
