Arsenal have enjoyed an impressive start to the Premier League campaign. Seven games in the Gunners are top of the table, leading the way by a point from Manchester City and fierce rivals Tottenham in second and third.
We are heading into the first international break of the season now, but afterwards we have a rip-roarer of a fixture - the North London Derby. The first of the two derbies takes place at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, October 1, with the game live on BT Sport as the lunchtime kick-off to get the Premier League weekend under way.
The winners of the contest know they will be top of the table - for Spurs albeit potentially only for a few hours, giving the fixture added importance. All eyes will be on what happens to each team's players during the international break, with Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte keen to see their players return without any injuries.
