Arsenal take on Tottenham in a crucial North London Derby at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday with both teams fighting at the top of the Premier League.
Mikel Arteta's side sit top of the table after losing just one of their opening seven fixtures, whilst Spurs are just a single point behind the Gunners, level on points with reigning champions Manchester City. Arsenal missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification last term after being pipped to top four spot by their north London rivals.
The Gunners ran out 3-1 winners in the same fixture last term and Arteta will be hoping his side can get the better of Antonio Conte's team this weekend. Emile Smith Rowe scored the opening goal in the 3-1 win last season but is set to miss out on the clash and foreseeable future after undergoing surgery to repair a damaged tendon in his groin.
