    Fun fact, Arsenal under Wenger have scored more goals against Tottenham than any against other team.

    MATCH FACTS
    Head-to-head

    • Tottenham's only victory at Arsenal in 26 league and cup matches since May 1993 was in November 2010 when they came from 2-0 down to win 3-2 (D10, L15).
    • Arsenal are winless in their last four Premier League games against Spurs (D3, L1) - they have never gone five league games without a victory against their local rivals under Arsene Wenger. They did, however, beat Tottenham in the League Cup last season.
    • Mauricio Pochettino is unbeaten in his four league games against Arsenal since arriving at White Hart Lane. No Spurs boss has ever gone unbeaten in their first five top-flight matches against the Gunners.
    • The team scoring first has failed to win this fixture on 23 occasions, the highest number in Premier League history (15 draws, eight defeats).
    Arsenal

    • The Gunners have won 10 of their last 11 games in league and cup, scoring 32 goals.
    • They have lost just one of their last 20 Premier League games (W12, D7).
    • Mesut Ozil has been directly involved in eight goals in his last five games for Arsenal in all competitions, with five goals and three assists.
    Tottenham Hotspur

    • Tottenham are unbeaten in their first 10 league games for the first time since the 1990-91 season.
    • Avoiding defeat would see them go unbeaten in their opening 11 top-flight matches for the third time, after 1960-61 (16 games) and 1959-60 (12 games). They finished those campaigns first and third respectively.
    • Spurs have the best defensive record in the Premier League, conceding just five goals.
    • They could draw four consecutive league matches for the first time since April 2008.

    Sounds like Spurs might try a slightly different system to recently from Pochs pre match comments. But the BT team in the studio not sure lol

    In the last couple of seasons I've felt like we aren't as sharp in our midday games and look better when we kick off later in the afternoon but that hasn't been the case this season so hopefully we see the team really go for it today.

    Given Spurs recent form if we can get an early goal I think they will get really nervous and we can dominate the game. But you just never know in a NLD!

    Great backflip from Coquelin. The hissy fit afterwards was a bit unnecessary given how much he likes to put himself about.

    Looks like we don't know how to counter act this system Spurs are playing,they are looking too comfortable for my liking.

    Been a frustrating half an hour thus far.

    They've been passing it around more fluidly than we have and we're not pressing the ball at the right times. A few occasions where we've been undone by a long ball over the top or a lofted cross, but Spurs have been very aggressive and tenacious. We need to win more second balls because Spurs are winning them all.

    Oh Iwobi <doh> You should have scored.

    Ok, this is better now. Walcott's returning pass there should have been much better.

    Should have been a penalty for the evident shirt tug on Xhaka, but of course that was never going to get given.

    Based on the last 10-15 minutes, we've deserved that.

    Lovely cross from Ozil from a free-kick, Wimmer heads it into his own net.

    Love it.

    Ozil is so good he can assist own goals.
