The intense North London derby is set for this Sunday as Tottenham host rival Arsenal. Spurs entered the weekend in first place in the league but are now in second after Chelsea's win over Leeds on Saturday. A victory will get Jose Mourinho's side back to the summit. Meanwhile, Arsenal are 4-1-5 and in 14th place, sitting closer to relegation than the top of the table.

Storylines
Tottenham: In unfamiliar territory near the top of the table, Tottenham have won four out of five in the league, and that's without Gareth Bale playing a prominent role. But he is somebody to keep an eye on her,e potentially off the bench. His pace on the wing, and with Arsenal's defense being quite compact, could mean some quality looks for the Welshman in the club's biggest rivalry match. Bale has two goals in eight games so far for Spurs since his return.
Arsenal: The Gunners are hoping to get Thomas Partey back as he returned to training this week, and they might need him to stop the bleeding. In their last three league games, Arsenal are winless, scoring just one goal. For an attack that on paper is great, they've been far from superb. Arsenal are averaging just a goal per game, but maybe Alexandre Lacazette can be the guy deliver after grabbing a cracking goal in the Europa League last week.
