Antonio Conte and his Tottenham team will be intent on righting the wrongs of their last north London derby when Arsenal visit N17 on Sunday. Unbeaten in their first seven Premier League games and only one point behind the Gunners prior to their trip to the Emirates Stadium at the start of October, Mikel Arteta's team secured the bragging rights with a 3-1 win.
Spurs were just not at the races that day and now they have to try and gain revenge with Arsenal top of the table and 11 points ahead of them as we approach the midway point of the campaign. Tottenham, who will be roared on by a capacity home crowd, will certainly be buoyed by two successive wins coming into the contest but, as is usually the case on derby day, the form book does tend to go out of the window.
Last going head-to-head at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in May, Spurs dealt Arsenal's Champions League aspirations a hammer blow following a convincing 3-0 win. As nice as it would be for the Lilywhites to repeat the feat this time around, three points is all that matters with the team now in fifth having seen Newcastle United and Manchester United leapfrog them in the standings.
