Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League preview - 5 points to note in the first North London Derby of 18/19

Battle of the attacks

Two world-class forwards - who will have the better game?

Harry Kane has established himself as a major global forward. Son also is a capable wide forward, whilst Eriksen and Alli bring qualities to the Tottenham attack away from goal-scoring.

Arsenal though holds an attack of equivalent firepower. Aubameyang like Kane is a world class striker, with prolificacy in both the Bundesliga and now the Premier League. Lacazette is also a quality forward, and of course, Mesut Ozil is a player with immense quality and tenure.

Which attack is most efficient may ensure the win here, for either team. And victory or defeat may depend on which team can stifle strikers' supply. Both managers need to identity weak-links, build on strengths, and capitalise on any mistakes or boons that arise in the game's duration. The Arsenal and Tottenham attacks are very much prone to scoring at will, though Arsenal has scored more Premier League goals this season than Spurs.

Aubameyang is currently outscoring Kane in the Premier League, and both will be looking to extend their accounts.

With the attacking talent, a 0-0 draw would be a disappointment, that's for sure.
