The current Premier League leaders, Arsenal, will face Tottenham in a pivotal north London derby as they strive to maintain pressure on Manchester City, who are closely trailing behind.
With Manchester City suffering a 2-1 loss to Newcastle last night, Arsenal has a chance to extend their lead at the top to six points in the title race.
In their previous match before the November international break, Mikel Arteta’s side missed the opportunity to gain momentum, resulting in a 2-2 draw with a strong Sunderland team. They will be eager to rebound against their local rivals, Tottenham.
On the other side, Thomas Frank’s Tottenham is also looking to regain their form after a recent downturn characterized by a disappointing home record and defensive vulnerabilities.
