Arsenal vs. Tottenham: Premier League – Match Preview

The first North London derby of the season takes place on Sunday as Arsenal host local rivals Tottenham.

Arsenal have won back to back league games, edging past Burnley last time out thanks to a superb Martin Odegaard free-kick.

In midweek they eased past AFC Wimbledon in the Carabao Cup and will face Leeds in the Fourth Round.

Spurs needed penalties to beat Wolves, with Harry Kane among the scorers in an entertaining 2-2 draw.

They did suffer a second consecutive 3-0 defeat in the league though, as they were easily beaten by Chelsea.
