SOMETHING'S GOT TO GIVE: Mourinho has never lost a home game against Arsenal in his career (W5, D4). Arteta's record in these derbies isn't bad either. The Spaniard lost only two of his nine North London derby appearances as an Arsenal player.
13'
Bellerin manages to burst to the right byline with a raid from deep. He pulls it back for Aubameyang, who completely misses his kick. Tierney blazes a difficult follow-up wide of the far post. Aubameyang looks on in frustration. He knows he could have done better there.
12'
STAT: Kane has notched 10 goals against Arsenal for Tottenham. If he scores in this game he’ll be the outright top scorer in this derby's history.

CLOSE! Kane latches on to a sublime ball through from Lucas Moura, but can't get enough height on his attempted lob, allowing Martinez to reach up and bat it away.

Mustafi meets a left-wing corner under pressure at the near post, but can only loop a header high into the air and over the bar.

Sissoko rampages on a dangerous run down the right but can only dig out a cross that Martinez plucks out of the air. Kane was lurking there. He'll be hoping to be more involved than he was at Bournemouth last time out. It took him 78 minutes to get a touch in the opposition box....
