On Sunday afternoon it's time for the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. The starting position of both teams is strong as thr Gunners are currently 4th in the table, while a bit surprisingly Tottenham is 2nd with better goal difference. Freshness could be an important factor in this encounter. More than once this season, Spurs came back late and scored against tired opponents. In the Premier League, the guests have now won three of their last four away games. So time to get the first three-pointer at the Emirates Stadium since 2010. As last year's runners-up and long-time rivals of Manchester City for the title, it should be clear that the Gunners are once again among the championship candidates this season. They have only lost two of their 22 home games since the start of last season. Those two defeats came against Manchester City and Brighton in May. Arsenal are currently still unbeaten this season. Four wins, including a convincing 3-1 win over Manchester United and a draw against Fulham, are currently the results. Tottenham seem to have coped well with the departure of top striker Harry Kane. They also got four wins and a draw from the first five games. This is only the third time that both London clubs are tied on points before their meeting. The bookies see the hosts as firm favorites for the win.
