The spotlight is on White Hart Lane for arguably the most high-pressure North London derby since the advent of the Premier League. Spurs need to rebound from their defeat to West Ham United if they want to close the gap on league leaders Leicester City, while the Gunners will strive to avoid their third successive loss.

Despite ranking top for attempts (74), second for shots inside the box (45), third for big chances (11) and top for shots on target (28) across the past four Gamweeks, Spurs recorded just five goals and suffered from a 6.8% shot-conversion rate. At the other end of the pitch, Mauricio Pochettino’s men kept it relatively tight, conceding just three goals. They being said, their rivals will draw encouragement from the fact that Tottenham have notched only two clean sheets in 10 outings.

Arsenal also posted some impressive underlying stats over the last four Gameweeks, charting second for attempts (64), joint-top for shots inside the box (50) and fourth for shots on target (20). Ultimately, the Gunners were undermined by their inability to stifle opposition attacks, with only four teams conceding more goals (six) during that stretch. Investors in their squad will certainly be concerned that Arsenal have won once in five road ties.
