The Emirates Stadium is the venue for the first North London Derby of the season in the Premier League this weekend. Tottenham make the short trip across north London to face their fierce rivals knowing they can leapfrog them and go to the summit of the Premier League table with victory.
That is easier said than done though, with Spurs not tasting victory at the home of their near neighbours in the Premier League since 2010, when Younes Kaboul completed a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to secure a 3-2 win.
A lunchtime kick-off at the Emirates Stadium gives both sides the opportunity to open up a lead at the top of the Premier League table before Manchester City play their rivals Manchester United on Sunday. But a lunchtime kick-off also bring its own issues, particularly given the international break before it.
