Tottenham got the better of Arsenal in the reverse fixture
Tottenham got the better of Arsenal in the reverse fixture

Arsenal host Tottenham in the North London Derby on Sunday, as both sides continue their march towards the Premier League's top six.

Arsenal will be buoyed by their midweek performance in the UEFA Europa League as they beat Olympiakos 3-1 in the first leg of their round of 16 tie.

Mikel Arteta's men are on a four-game unbeaten streak which they will hope to extend against their rivals on Sunday. The Gunners are currently 10th in the Premier League, with a win on Sunday taking them to within four points of Tottenham in seventh.

Tottenham have also been in stellar form of late. Jose Mourinho's men are currently on a five-game winning streak across all competitions and have looked dominant.

Spurs are also heading into Sunday's clash off the back of a 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League. A win on Sunday would potentially take Tottenham into fifth in the Premier League, two points behind Chelsea in fourth.

Both teams are in good form going into the North London Derby, but form seldom matters in a match of this magnitude. Both Arsenal and Tottenham will be looking to win the game on Sunday.


Arsenal vs Tottenham Head-to-Head

Tottenham just edge the recent Premier League head-to-head record between the two sides, having won two of the last five meetings, with Arsenal winning one.

Jose Mourinho's side did, however, come away as 2-0 winners in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
