It's time for the first North London derby of the season as Spurs make the short trip across the Emirates to face league leaders Arsenal. While Mikel Arteta's side are gunning for that elusive title, Spurs are struggling to keep tabs with the chasing pack.
Can Arsenal bounce back from their draw against Sunderland? Hear from our Premier League football expert Nathan Joyes as dives into the match and provides his best betting angle.
Arsenal will be desperate to rectify their rare slip up as they dropped two points on the road against Sunderland - which did land my +1.5 Asian Handicap bet on the Black Cats in the process.
However, having previously won their last 10 matches, Mikel Arteta will be very happy with how his team have started the campaign - especially considering Liverpool's sluggish start to defending their title.
Nine of those 10 wins saw Arsenal walk away with clean sheets - an incredible record - but one that may be compromised moving forward.
That's because the hosts will be without Gabriel, who picked up an injury on international duty with Brazil and he'll be out for at least two months. Arteta will need to plan his replacement and line-up carefully as the Gunners look to secure a first Premier League title since 2004.
After a strong start to the campaign under new head coach Thomas Frank, it has all started to unravel for Spurs in recent weeks.
Having lost two of their last five - as well as throwing away a last minute lead against Man United - there's plenty of work to do if Tottenham are to challenge for a top four spot.
More concerning, Spurs have only won one of their last six London derbies and a daunting trip to the Emirates is an unlikely destination where they will fix that poor run of form.
Spurs' injury list continues to grow, and Frank will still be without Mohammed Kudus, James Maddison, Dominic Solanke - to name a few - this weekend. Spurs are up against it.
Last season Arsenal did the double over their arch rivals that included a 2-1 win at the Emirates. Despite Heung-Min Son's opener, on own goal from Solanke was followed up with a Leandro Trossard winner.
Spurs haven't won since 2018 at the Emirates, a run of games stretching over seven matches and counting.
With Arsenal looking to bound clear at the top of the Premier League, it's going to be difficult for Frank to rally his troops against one of the best sides in world football at present.
Will we see an upset on Sunday? Nathan Joyes has taken a look at the Premier League odds and provided his best bet below.
Arsenal (1/3 with Betfred) are short priced favourites to beat Spurs - which is arguably the shortest they have ever been against their rivals.
It's no real surprise considering their almost flawless form this campaign. And despite a rare slip up against Sunderland, back at home they are clearly capable of beating anyone.
There is the concern that Arsenal may struggle without Gabriel, but their whole team has been solid defensively - and Arteta will be sure to keep his defence tight on Sunday.
Spurs (6/1 with Betano) have only lost once on their travels this season (W4 D3 L1) but that was their last away trip against Newcastle (2-0).
Injuries are racking up and Frank still has plenty of his players to win over. Their recent home defeat against Chelsea was a tough watch. And with that in mind, Arsenal can return to winning ways - but the scoreline can stay respectable.
Back Arsenal to get the job done - but another clean sheet could be on the cards.
