Injuries are mounting for both teams, with arguably none more significant than Gabriel potentially being ruled out until January after suffering a groin problem during the international break. Spurs, meanwhile, are likely to without at least 10 first-team players for their toughest test of the season.
Many are tipping Arsenal to end their long Premier League title drought this season, but dropped points at Sunderland last time out and Manchester City’s resurgent form has caused pause for thought. Still, the Gunners’ recent record against their north London rivals is spotless, and they will be confident of a fourth straight win on Sunday.
Spurs will point to their away form, which is only matched by Arsenal so far this season, and will hope a depleted defence will offer opportunities as Thomas Frank looks for another statement away win after beating City in August.

Arsenal vs Tottenham prediction
Arsenal, even without Gabriel, will be confident of shutting Spurs out and securing a victory to open up an 11-point gap over their neighbours. While Spurs can point to an impressive away record, built on an impressive defence and sturdy midfield, it is in attack where they are often lacking.
Arteta will look at the likes of Mathys Tel or Richarlison with little fear, while the likes of Bukayo Saka will believe he can add to his tally of two goals and four assists from his last four meetings.
