Matchday fourteen will host one of the mouthwatering fixtures in the Premier League as the two North London sides - Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur square off in a battle for supremacy. Earlier this weekend, Spurs had one of their best games of the season as they outplayed Chelsea 3-1 at Wembley stadium.

The pressure was on Unai Emery' side after a string of winless games to get a confidence booster ahead of the London derby. Arsenal started the game slowly, but as the match progressed, the Gunners gradually began to display their authority and eventually ran out 1-2 winners at the end.

The victory has taken them just three points off Pochettino's side, meaning a win next weekend could take them above their North London rivals. Arsenal have got only one point so far from the top six teams, and Unai Emery will be hoping he can get a taste of victory in his first North London derby next weekend.
