EPL: Arsenal v Tottenham preview


Arsenal v Tottenham preview

The 194th North London derby takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, with just four points separating Arsenal and Tottenham.


The Gunners hold the advantage in the head-to-head stats, with 80 victories compared to Tottenham's 62, but Spurs are the team currently in the ascendancy with Mauricio Pochettino's men three places above their rivals.

Arsenal, who have not won any of their last four meetings with Spurs, have won all five of their home league games this season - keeping three clean sheets during that run.

Arsene Wenger will hand late fitness tests to both Shkodran Mustafi (hamstring) and Danny Welbeck (groin), after both missed the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City due to injury. Olivier Giroud is out though after injuring his thigh on international duty.

Meanwhile, Tottenham head to the Emirates looking for their first win at Arsenal's home ground in eight matches - their last victory at the Emirates was a 3-2 success in 2010.

They will have to achieve it without Toby Alderweireld, with the Belgian expected to be missing until after Christmas as his hamstring injury - suffered against Real Madrid - is worst than first thought.

Pochettino is hopeful Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Harry Winks and Hugo Lloris will be fit, although late decisions will be made on all four players. Victor Wanyama is still missing with a long standing knee problem
