Few fixtures in English football carry as much intensity, and this edition of Tottenham vs Arsenal contains more Premier League narratives than you can wish for.
Title-chasing Arsenal are showing cracks in their once imperious lead, whilst Tottenham find themselves rooted in a relegation battle.
Last time out, Arsenal squandered a two-goal at rock-bottom Wolves and that result will give Spurs, under new interim boss Igor Tudor, some feint hope of securing much-needed points.
