Jack Wilshere also trained hard on Friday, as he continues to try and push his way into the first team for league matches.
Wilshere has been primarily used in cup matches with his season, with his Premier League action limited to 25 minutes in two substitute cameos.
The game is the first since the international break, and is one which Arsenal cannot afford to lose.
Arsenal have not beaten Tottenham in their last six Premier League meetings, a record run for the Gunners and one they will be anxious to end.

Since beating Spurs at White Hart Lane in March 2014, their only victory over their rivals came in a League Cup clash back in September 2015.
The previous three meetings at the Emirates Stadium have all ended in 1-1 draws, and Wenger will be relying on his big names to tip the balance in their favour.
A win for both teams is necessary for them to stay on track for their primary goals this season - Tottenham in keeping touch with leaders Manchester City, Arsenal to keep up the pressure on the top four.
