The first north London derby of the season comes from the Emirates Stadium as Premier League leaders Arsenal bid to cement their position at the summit with victory over fierce rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
The recent bragging rights have gone the way of Arsenal, who completed a Premier League double over their neighbours last season, and early evidence suggests that they should maintain that dominance.
The Gunners came into this weekendâs fixtures four points clear at the top, having won eight of their opening 11 matches, although a 2-2 draw at Sunderland before the international break was a backwards step.
Tottenham also played out a 2-2 draw in their most recent Premier League fixture, at home to Manchester United, and they are the divisionâs strongest travellers having picked up 13 points from five away games.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
Best Bet: Arsenal to win & both teams to score @ 12/5
Arsenal wins to nil have been the order of the day this season, especially at the Emirates where the only goal they have conceded in five league outings came in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City.
However, the Gunners were held to a 2-2 draw away at Sunderland last time out and the injury to Gabriel does cause some disruption at the heart of defence.
Both teams have scored in the last six meetings at the Emirates Stadium, with Arsenal winning on four occasions, and the sequence could be enhanced in Sundayâs showdown.
Tottenham have been much better on their travels than they have at home so far this season, winning four of their five games which includes victory at Manchester City. The only exception was a thrilling 2-2 draw at Brighton.
Spurs are still severely depleted by injuries but they should be fired-up for a clash with their fiercest rivals and they arguably deserved more than a point when conceding late in a 2-2 draw with Manchester United last time out.
Alternative Bet: Cristian Romero to be booked @ 5/4
Having Cristian Romero back at the heart of Tottenhamâs defence is a big boost to their chances of picking up a positive result at the Emirates, but it also could come at the cost of a card.
Being a derby, things are sure to boil over at some point and Romero, a renowned hothead, has picked up two bookings in five meetings with Arsenal,
The Argentinian international has been restricted to just nine Premier League appearances this season and he has been shown four yellow cards, with three of those coming away from home.

Arsenal to win
Cristian Romero to be shown a card
Leandro Trossard to score or assist
Pays 9/2
Arsenal have dominated their recent rivalry with Spurs and the table-toppers should maintain that superiority at the Emirates, where they have dropped only two points in five outings.
Cristian Romero has four yellow cards in nine Premier League appearances this season and a derby dust-up should see tempers flare.
Leandro Trossard has been in excellent form for Arsenal, with the Belgian international scoring twice and grabbing two assists in his last six Premier League appearances, and he could have an influence on this heavyweight clash.
