Victory for Arsenal would secure fourth place, their highest Premier League finish since the 2015/16 campaign, when they finished second. It would also be the first time since that campaign that they have finished above Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last seven home league matches against Arsenal (W5 D2), their longest such run against their north London rivals since a run of nine between 1960 and 1968. 

Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka were both on the scoresheet for Arsenal in their 3-1 victory over Spurs in the reverse fixture. The last Englishman to score for the Gunners in both home and away fixtures against Spurs in a single season was Ian Wright in 1993/94.

Harry Kane is the top scorer in north London derby history in all competitions, netting 11 goals in his 16 matches for Spurs against Arsenal. However, he has not scored in either of his last two appearances against the Gunners, his longest drought against them in his career.
