Premier League football returns after the international break with a North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham kicking things off.

The Gunners welcome their bitter rivals Tottenham to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday as they look to strike a blow in the race for the title and climb up the table themselves.

While the hosts return to action on the back of a disappointing defeat to Manchester City, Spurs were riding the crest of a wave prior to the break, having beaten Real Madrid in the Champions League and securing a narrow victory over London rivals Crystal Palace.

GAME PREVIEW


Heung-min Son Christian Eriksen Tottenham Aaron Ramsey Arsenal

Arsenal have been left to languish in Tottenham's shadow in recent years and they are already playing catch-up with Mauricio Pochettino's men this season, with four points separating the sides.

As Spurs impress in the Champions League, the Gunners have been competing in the relative obscurity of Europe's second-tier, but they will hope to boost their morale by delivering a blow to their rivals on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger's side have already lost four games out of 11 in the league thus far and defeat to Spurs would see them fall further adrift as a gap begins to emerge between the top four contenders and the also-rans.

However, with home advantage and the potential for Tottenham to be missing players such as Kane and Alli, they will be confident in their ability to pick up three points, which could see them move up to fourth.

Tottenham, meanwhile, are neck-and-neck with Manchester United behind leaders Man City and they will be keen to pick up where they left off before the end-of-year international break.
