Tottenham vs Arsenal: 3 things to look out for in North London Derby

Arsenal take on Tottenham in the next instalment of the North London Derby this weekend and, as always, there’s plenty on the line. The Gunners have won five of their last six as they sit top of the league by five points.

For Spurs in their last five, the form line is vastly different. Two wins, two losses and a draw. That isn’t exactly winning football. But when it comes to this fixture, the form line can be thrown out the window, even if Arsenal are a whopping 11 points ahead of their rivals.

So, what are some things to look for vs. Spurs on Sunday?

1. Can Arsenal finally curtail Harry Kane and Son Heung-min?

Kane has scored 14 goals against the Gunners in the Premier League, while Son (four goals and five assists in 11 Premier League games) has also had plenty of success in this fixture.

Fortunately, though, Son’s form has fallen off a cliff this season and he currently looks like a shell of the player that snagged the Golden Boot last term. Kane, on the other hand, remains imperious. He’s scored 15 Premier League goals this season, a figure trumped only by Erling Haaland.

This pair has often wrought havoc in N17 against the Gunners, so slowing them down will go a long way in securing a positive result.
