Heung-min Son has been on fire for Tottenham this season. The South Korean forward has 9 goals and 2 assists in 10 Premier League games and will want to continue his good run of form against Arsenal.

Unplayable on his day, Son has been one of the best players under Jose Mourinho's regime. The Portuguese manager will expect Son to come up with the goods on Sunday. Son has electrifying pace and scary dribbling and finishing abilities. The 28 year old is also a tireless runner and will try and catch Arsenal on the counter. Look for him to be the difference maker on Sunday.


Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal)

Will Auba finally get his season up and running?
Will Auba finally get his season up and running?

Arsenal's talismanic captain has had a rough start to the season. The Gabonese striker has only scored 2 goals in the league, one of which was a penalty against Manchester United. Aubameyang needs to get his form back and what better way to do that than against Tottenham in the derby?

Arsenal signed Aubameyang to a bumper new contract at the start of the season and its about time the forward starts producing for the club. Mikel Arteta will want his captain to find the form he had last season which led Arsenal to FA Cup glory.

Aubameyang is always a problem for defenders because of his pace and finishing abilities, but goals have come at a premium this season, partly because of the club's lack of a playmaker. But don't expect Aubameyang not to put away any of the chances put in front of him. The Gabonese striker has made a living off being a lethal finisher.


#1 Harry Kane (Tottenham)

Well, there's really not much to be said here. Tottenham's Harry Kane is Arsenal's tormentor-in-chief. No matter how much of a rut the striker is in, he always scores against Arsenal. Rain, sunshine or snow, the Englishman always finds a way.

Arsenal will take solace in the fact that Kane's fitness may be an issue coming into the game, but the Englishman has been in exceptional form this season. In the Premier League, Kane has scored 7 goals and assisted a further 9 in ten games. Kane needs one more goal to go ahead of Emmanuel Adebayor in North London Derby goals, and he's highly likely to do so on Sunday. Tottenham will be relying on Kane to steer them to victory.
