THE LOWDOWN
ARSENAL
Arsenal kept pace with the leading pack with a hard-fought 0-1 victory at Everton last weekend, with substitute Leandro Trossard's fine finish enough to separate the sides.
The Gunners then marked their return to the Champions League with an excellent 4-0 win over PSV on Wednesday, in what was a performance full of maturity and class. The manner of their victory over a PSV side who were previously unbeaten in 26 games in all competitions is bound to give them confidence ahead of the North London Derby.
TOTTENHAM
Like their local rivals, Tottenham are one of four unbeaten teams in the Premier League this season, although that was under serious threat against Sheffield Utd last weekend.
In what was a lacklustre display from Spurs for the most part, Gustavo Hamer gave Sheffield Utd the lead in the 73rd minute, and it looked like Ange Postecoglou was heading for his first Premier League defeat. However, late drama ensued when Richarlison - who had been in the headlines with mental health struggles - equalised for the hosts, before setting up Dejan Kulusevski for a dramatic winner in the 100th minute.
THE TEAM NEWS
ARSENAL
Gabriel Martinelli missed out midweek after injuring his hamstring last weekend, but he does have a chance of being fit for this one. Given the form of Leandro Trossard since he has come in though, the Belgian is likely to keep his place regardless.
Although David Raya has kept clean sheets in successive games since replacing Aaron Ramsdale in goal, Arteta would would not confirm who would start in goal for this fixture.
PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Rice, Vieira; Saka, Jesus, Trossard
UNAVAILABLE: Timber (Injured), Partey (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE: Martinelli (Injured)
TOTTENHAM
Ivan Perisic is likely out for the season after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament in training this past week, which limits Potecoglous's options at full-back, but Rodrigo Bentancur, Giovani Lo Celso and Bryan Gil are nearing returns and could be available after the next international break.
After his impact off the bench against Sheffield Utd, Richarlison will be considered for a start here, which would likely see Manor Solomon drop out of the XI.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison
UNAVAILABLE: Whiteman (Injured), Sessegnon (Injured), Perisic (Injured), Bentancur (Injured), Lo Celso (Injured), Gil (Injured)

THE PREDICTION
This is undoubtedly one of the most highly-anticipated North London Derby encounters in years, with both sides unbeaten in the Premier League and locked on 13 points. There is a feel-good atmosphere around Spurs under likeable new manager Ange Postecoglou, while Arsenal look every bit a team capable of challenging for the top honours again this season. There hasn't been a goalless draw in this fixture since 2009, and the last five Premier League meetings between the two sides at the Emirates have seen both teams score. Given these factors, goals look likely here.
