It's finally here: the exciting, highly-anticipated North London Derby that could change the course of this season's English Premier League race is upon us.
Arsenal make the trip to their next door rivals Tottenham, but unlike seasons past, the Gunners are trailing title chasers Spurs and are in dire need of a win if they wish to finish ahead of the White Hart Lane side.
Injury has robbed Wenger's boys of a few key players; Pochettino's side are yet to grab victory over Arsenal in two clashes in 2015/16, but all of this will count for little when the two clubs lock horns on Saturday.
Here are a few key North London Derby stats.
The Gunners to pull a win TWICE at White Hart Lane?
Although this is Arsenal’s 1st and only trip to White Hart Lane in the English Premier League, they have already clashed in the same venue in the League Cup, with Wenger’s boys coming out victorious 2-1.
One important think to note is that Arsenal have not won twice at Spurs since 1986/87.
Harry Kane’s fine form vs the Gunners
The English striker has scored three in as many games in the heated North London Derby. Furthermore, his track record against fellow London sides is impeccable, netting 13 times in 17 London derbies.
White Hart Lane – the fortress of north London
Tottenham, in their last 7 home clashes with their neighbors, have won 4 times, drawn twice, whilst only losing once.
Form vs top four
Spurs may sit ahead of their rivals, but it’s Arsenal who have taken more points off of their fellow top four teams, with 10 compared to Tottenham’s 8.
