Arsenal host Spurs in North London Derby in Premier League

Both teams are in a good run of form…

Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in an eagerly anticipated North London Derby. The Gunners are three points ahead of their North London rivals and could earn a sizeable six-point lead with victory at Emirates Stadium. Victory for Spurs, however, a win will lift their spirits and will get them back to winning ways after having been frustrated since their 2-0 win over Manchester City, notching up four draws and one loss in all competitions. The Lilywhites - who have often been referred to as the perennial underachievers as they have finished below Arsenal in the Premier League for 21 straight-years - have surged up the table in recent years and are now legal title contenders as they showed last season and are showing this season being the only team unbeaten in the league. Spurs have struggled to source a clinical edge in recent weeks but being defensively more resolute and with the return of Harry Kane they would be hoping to win bragging rights over their North London rivals. Team News The Gunners are confident of having Santi Cazorla, Theo Walcott, Hector Bellerin and Nacho Monreal back in the squad to take on their arch-rivals on Sunday. Harry Kane is battling to be fit to face the Gunners but Toby Alderweireld is unlikely to be ready in time. Erik Lamela is out with a hip problem and Mousa Dembele is a doubt after twisting his ankle in the 1-0 loss against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.
