The North London Derby

Phonetic noise and tangible excitement will define the night, as Arsenal hosts Tottenham at the Emirates stadium. Arsenal, who currently sit third in the Premier League table are looking to close the gap between them and the League leaders Liverpool, with Postecoglou's men seeking to pick a third consecutive win.
This is the north London Derby.

As of today, 196 games have been played between the two teams since they first met in 1909. The derby has witnessed 83 Arsenal wins, 61 Tottenham wins and 52 draws.
Notable matches of the North London derby include the games in which Arsenal won the league at White Hart Lane in 1971 and their invincible campaign in 2004, Tottenham beating Arsenal 5–0 at home in 1983 and Arsenal winning by the same score away in 1978. Tottenham beating Arsenal 3–1 at the semi-final of the 1990–91 FA Cup to go on and win the Cup is also a game that shook the North London.

The fixture's top scorer so far is Harry Kane with fourteen goals (seven from the penalty spot), having overtaken Bobby Smith and Emmanuel Adebayor, who have ten goals each.
Importantly, the distance between Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and the Emirates is 6.4 km.
