Spurs fans could not have picked a better game than the North London Derby, which marks their return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Not only due to the magnitude of the match but also the contrasting form of both sides.
Jose Mourinho heads into the match with the Premier League’s longest unbeaten, having not lost since the opening day. The form has seen Spurs rise to the top of the league above Champions Liverpool with a goal difference.
Mikel Arteta enjoyed good form in the Europa League group stages with four wins so far. The side registered a 4-1 win over Rapid Wein at the Emirates that saw fans watch the match live.
