Sunday's Premier League action peaks with the first match, as Arsenal welcome their near neighbours Tottenham Hotspur to the Emirates for the latest edition of the North London derby. Home advantage and fine form give the Gunners the edge heading into this match, with Arsène Wenger's side having started the weekend level on points with league leaders Manchester City. However, Spurs haven't made too shabby a start either, and a close game should certainly be anticipated.

Indeed, though Spurs have drawn three league games in a row -- and remarkably failed to win any of their last six in all competitions -- a win would be enough to pull them level on points with Arsenal in the table. Mauricio Pochettino’s side are still undoubtedly one of the strongest in the league, and they’ll be hoping to be in the title mix near the end of the season.

Three big things to know
1. Arsenal have lost only once in all competitions so far this season, with said defeat coming at home to Liverpool on the opening matchday of the Premier League season. Since then they’ve failed to win just once at home, having been held to a goalless draw by Middlesbrough late last month.
2. Spurs have generally struggled for goals of late, with Pochettino’s side having netted just three times in their last six matches in all competitions. Summer signing Vincent Janssen has found the net just once in the league so far, with their top scorer being Korean attacker Son Heung-min with four.
3. The last two editions of the North London derby have ended all-square, though in recent years Arsenal have generally had the edge -- especially on home soil. Not since 2010 have Spurs managed to win at the Emirates, when Gareth Bale, Rafael van der Vaart and Younès Kaboul all got on the scoresheet as Harry Redknapp’s side made a remarkable second half comeback from 2-0 down.
