Did you know?

Arsenal and Spurs have both found the net in 34 PL north London derbies, more than in any other fixture in the competition.

Unai Emery can become only the third of the last 10 Arsenal managers, including caretakers, to win his first north London derby in the league, after Don Howe, in 1983, and Arsene Wenger, in 1996.

Spurs have won their last seven PL London derbies and can equal their longest derby winning run in the top flight, eight victories between October 1950 and August 1951.

Mauricio Pochettino has managed five away league matches against Arsenal without winning, the worst run he has had against any opponent, in England or Spain.
