Tottenham have been told not to underestimate the importance of the North London Derby on the future of Harry Kane. The striker is closing in on the club's all-time top-scorer record but could be tempted away from the club if Antonio Conte's men don't show progress when it matters.
The Italian goes into the side with his men 11 points behind their fierce rivals with the possibility of ending Sunday 14 behind with Mikel Arteta's side also having a game in hand at the top of the table. Few would have seen this sort of transformation coming when Tottenham beat Arsenal 3-0 in this fixture at the end of last season.
The win on that day at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium set the Lillywhites up to finish fourth last season but they haven't performed as positively as many expected after a strong summer window. Conte has continued to pick wins up throughout the season though and enters the having won the last two matches.
