On Sunday, Arsenal will be hosting Tottenham in one of the most highly anticipated matches of the season. The North London Derby has gained a well-deserved reputation for its drama and excitement, making it one of the most thrilling games for neutral spectators. It is worth noting that since 2008, there hasn’t been a goalless draw between Arsenal and Tottenham. In fact, in the 21st century, there have been more matches ending with a scoreline of 5-2 than 0-0. Last season, one team was able to secure victories both at home and away, and now Arsenal welcomes Spurs to the Emirates Stadium with manager Mikel Arteta aiming to join Terry Neill as the only Gunners bosses to win their first four home North London derbies. Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglu will be hoping to replicate the success he had over his unwelcome neighbor, Rangers, when he was in charge of Celtic. Here is everything you need to know about the match and how to watch it:

Storylines:
Arsenal: Arteta will be hoping that Gabriel Martinelli, who missed Friday’s training session due to a hamstring injury, can recover in time to feature in the derby. However, much of the focus will be on the starting goalkeeper rather than the left-wing position. David Raya has started both games since the international break, leading to concerns that this may bring Aaron Ramsdale’s Arsenal career full circle, as he took Bernd Leno’s spot at a similar stage two years ago. Arteta has stated that he wants to rotate his goalkeepers, and during his pre-match press conference, he confirmed that he had not yet decided who would start in the derby. Raya may technically be the better goalkeeper and possess a cooler head, but sometimes occasions like the North London Derby call for the exuberance of Ramsdale. If Ramsdale misses out on the team as well, it could signify a changing of the guard at the Emirates Stadium.

Tottenham: Despite Harry Kane’s departure to Bayern Munich this summer, Spurs’ frontline has shown no signs of missing him, scoring at least two goals in all five of their Premier League games so far this season. However, if there is a game where Kane’s absence might be felt, it would be the North London Derby. The England captain is the leading scorer in the history of the derby, with 14 goals in just 17 top-flight encounters against Arsenal. Arsenal will undoubtedly be relieved by his absence from the team sheet, but Postecoglu praised the remaining players at Spurs for how they have stepped up to fill the gap left by Kane. He emphasized the team’s collective focus on the future and their aim to be a real attacking threat from all areas of their game. Although they have managed the absence well so far, the void left by Kane is always present and can create opportunities for their opponents.

Prediction:
If Spurs continue to play in the same attacking style that they have shown this season, it could create numerous chances for both teams, with Arsenal potentially edging out a thrilling victory. Prediction: Arsenal 3, Tottenham 2.
