Tottenham Hotspur face Arsenal on Sunday afternoon in the first north London derby of the new Premier League season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs come back from the international break having had a mixed start to the season, with one win, one draw and a loss to Newcastle United in their most recent match.

And Arsenal enter the weekend having suffered a frustrating result of their own, with a 1-1 draw to Brighton following two dominant wins to open the season.

The match is the first in a long run of difficult matches for the Gunners, as they start their Champions League campaign against Atalanta before facing Manchester City next weekend.

The away side will be keen to remind rivals of their title credentials after dropping two points last time out, while Spurs will look to get back on track with a potentially decisive win.

Here’s everything you need to know about the game.

Prediction

It’ll be a fiery encounter in north London, with Arsenal no doubt expecting a difficult atmosphere and a tough game. Arteta’s side certainly have the superior quality, but it remains to be seen whether they can take advanbtage of a Spurs side that is still capable of being dismantled in defence. Rice will be a big miss, and it may be that both sides think it best to settle for a draw, but Arsenal should win it if they can keep their cool. Tottenham 1-2 Arsenal.
