Get all the details about the Premier League clash.
WHERE IS THE MATCH BEING PLAYED?
The game is taking place at Emirates Stadium. Here's all the stadium information you need.
WHY IS IT WORTH FOLLOWING?
Silly question! It's impossible to ignore the north London derby
as it almost always provides a thrilling spectacle. And this year
promises to be as special as ever. Arsenal, level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City, face a Tottenham side unbeaten in the top-flight since the opening day.
So they're brimming with confidence? Not quite. Arsenal enter the clash on the back of a harrowing 5-1 defeat at Bayern Munich
in midweek, while Spurs' impressive run is undermined by an unhealthy
amount of draws. Both sides still have plenty to prove and the Emirates
Stadium on Sunday is the perfect opportunity to start doing that.
The Gunners are rightly favourites for the encounter, but given
they're awfully shaky defensive display in Germany, do not expect Spurs
to simply sit back and soak up pressure. Nope, this promises to be an
end-to-end barnstormer. Load up your preferred bookmaker, stick some
hard-earned cash on both teams to score and watch your funds multiply...
