The North London Derby is one to look forward to not just for Arsenal/Spurs supporters but for the neutral fans also.

Why? GOALS! This game has a recent history of bringing goals to the table and today should hopefully be no exception.

The previous six meetings have yielded a total of 31 goals – including 5-2 wins for Arsenal in the previous two matches at the Emirates.

From a fantasy football perspective there will be plenty of interest in this game also with both teams featuring at least 3 players with double digit ownership.

Can Metesacker keep Soldado at bay??

MATCH FACTS & STATS

(from BBC.co.uk)

Head-to-head

The previous six meetings have yielded a total of 31 goals – including 5-2 wins for Arsenal in the previous two matches at the Emirates.
Spurs’ 3-2 win at the Emirates in November 2010 is their only victory away to Arsenal since the inaugural Premier League season in 1992-93.

Arsenal

The Gunners have won just one of their last four home league games (W1, D2, L1), yet have won their last six top-flight matches on the road.
All 13 of Olivier Giroud’s Premier League goals have been scored in London, with 11 netted at the Emirates.
Victory at Fulham last weekend gave Arsenal their 100th London derby win in the Premier League.
The Gunners have not lost their opening two home league games since 1949-50, when they were defeated by Burnley and Chelsea at Highbury.

Tottenham Hotspur

Roberto Soldado has scored 12 goals in his last 10 league appearances.
If the Spaniard scores on Sunday he will become only the second player to score in their first three Premier League appearances for Spurs, following in the footsteps of Jermain Defoe.
Spurs have attempted 39 shots in this season’s Premier League but have yet to score from open play.
They have started the season with back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since 2005-06, when they recorded shut-outs in their opening three matches.
