Spurs vs Arsenal preview

It remains one of the marquee fixtures in English football and this meeting between Spurs and Arsenal looks one of the biggest in recent years.

The Gunners go into the weekend with a five-point lead at the top of the table after dropping two points at home to Newcastle last time out.

That was the first dropped points at home and only the third time they've dropped points in total this season, after a defeat at Old Trafford and draw at Southampton earlier in the campaign.

How Arsenal have fared so far this season

They bounced back with a convincing win at Oxford United to progress in the FA Cup.

Mikel Arteta's men now make the short trip across North London to face a Spurs side in an indifferent spell of form.

They returned from the break with a draw at Brentford and defeat at home to Aston Villa before a thumping 4-0 win at Crystal Palace.

It was a strong team put out against League One Portsmouth in the FA Cup, where they secured their passage to the fourth round with a slender 1-0 win.

North London derby form

Unsurprisingly, home advantage has played a huge part in these meetings in the past.

Incredibly, the home side has won each of the last seven North London derbies.

Arsenal won the encounter earlier this season with a 3-1 win - the exact same scoreline when they won this fixture last season at home too.

Spurs scored three of their own when they last hosted the Gunners, winning 3-0 in May last year thanks to a Harry Kane double and Son Heung-min goal.

Team News

Spurs

Antonio Conte looks set to be handed a triple injury boost ahead of Sunday.

Yves Bissouma, Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski are all in line to return to the Premier League matchday squad in time for this one.

Bissouma injured himself in the warm-up ahead of the Portsmouth game last week, while Kulusevski and Bentancur have been absent since the return of the domestic games following the World Cup.

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta has no fresh injury concerns despite Bukayo Saka's suspected knock earlier this week.

The Englishman appeared to have an issue with his knee when going off with 15 minutes to go at Oxford.

Arteta has since revealed the winger is "fine" and that the rest of his squad are OK.

The Spaniard continued to bemoan the lack of options at centre forward in Gabriel Jesus' absence, with Eddie Nketiah doing a good job while deputising.

SunSport tips

Spurs 2 Arsenal 2 @ 11/1 with Betfair - CLAIM HERE

Despite that incredible run for home sides, this fixture comes at these teams in a different way to previous meetings.

Arsenal appear set to take the game to Spurs given the way both sides set up.

Both sides have goals in them, with Arsenal second and Spurs third in the 'goals for' stats.

And as much as neither will admit it, both sides would likely be relatively content taking a point at this stage.

Harry Kane 1st goalscorer @ 5/1 with Paddy Power - CLAIM HERE

He's the main man for Spurs and continually proves it - no more so than in this fixture.

There was a genuine concern as to how Harry Kane would react when coming back from World Cup penalty disappointment - yet he's bagged four goals in the four games since the restart.

He's bagged three goals against Arsenal in the past two North London derbies - including the opener two meetings ago.

In any other season, he'd be lauded for his scoring exploits with 15 goals in 16 games. He's unfortunate that Erling Haaland joined this year.

Spurs vs Arsenal - What the managers have said

We'll hear from both managers later this week when they preview this crunch encounter.

SunSport will bring you the best of the press conferences here when that happens.
