Sunday marks yet another instalment of the historic North London Derby as Tottenham host Arsenal. Both sides are still fighting for league positions, so we should be in for an intriguing and entertaining affair.

Heading into this game, Tottenham sit just seven points off fourth-place Aston Villa. However, Ange Postecoglu's side have three games in hand on Unai Emery's side, a gap they'll look to shorten with a victory over their bitter rivals.

A 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Newcastle last time out has dampened spirits, but a second-half fight back for Chelsea at Aston Villa has given Spurs fighting hope of Champions League football again, despite having a tough-run in.

Interestingly, Tottenham are yet to draw at home, winning 12 and losing just four of their 16 home games. Spurs fans have certainly been entertained, with their 34 goals scored and 21 conceded at home seeing these games average 3.43 goals.

After a monumental collapse saw the Gunners throw away the chance for their first league title since 2004 last season, Mikael Arteta is determined to make it stick this year.

His side currently sit one point ahead of treble winners Manchester City, with the Citizens having the advantage of a game in hand. The Gunners kick off before Manchester City so could extend the lead to four points and put real pressure on Pep Guardiola's side.

A lot of Arsenal's success can be attributed to their defensive record, with David Raya keeping a league-high 14 clean sheets. The formidable centre-back partnership of William Saliba and Gabriel with the energetic Declan Rice just in front has given Arsenal a real platform to defend leads.

They have the best away record away from home, having picked up 36 points in 17. A 0-2 loss at home to Aston Villa halted an 11-game unbeaten run in which the Gunners won nine games. However, they followed this up, resounding 0-2 and 5-0 victories over Wolves and Chelsea, respectively.
