Premier League

Two of the Premier League`s title contenders will go head-to-head on Sunday as second-ranked Arsenal host fifth-ranked Tottenham Hotspur in the North London derby.

Gunners unbeaten in 15 in all competitions

Since losing at home to Liverpool on the opening day of the season, Arsenal have not lost a single match in any competition. In the Premier League, they have won seven and drawn two with Middlesbrough and Leicester the only teams to take points off them in that time.

Four of the Gunners` five home matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they have scored three goals on three occasions. They come into this game on the back of a 4-1 win away to Sunderland in the league and a 3-2 win away to Ludogorets in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur are without a win in six matches in all competitions. Their last victory was a 2-0 win over league leaders Manchester City more than a month ago. Last weekend, they were held 0-0 at home by Leicester City and they followed that up with a 0-1 home defeat (Wembley) to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

However, despite their lack of wins in recent weeks, Spurs remain the only side yet to have been beaten in the Premier League. Their record of five wins and five draws has left them in fifth place in the table, just three points behind the leaders. Eight out of the 10 matches that the Londoners have played have produced under 2.5 goals including their last two away trips to West Bromwich Albion (1-1) and Bournemouth (0-0).

Team news

Arsenal will be hoping that Kieran Gibbs and Santi Cazorla will come through late fitness tests, while Lucas Perez (ankle), Chuba Akpom (Achilles), Per Mertesecker (knee) and Danny Welbeck (knee) will all miss out.

Meanwhile, Harry Kane could return for Tottenham Hotspur, while Ben Davies (ankle), Mousa Dembele (ankle), Erik Lamela (hip), Toby Alderweirweld (knee) and Moussa Sissoko (suspended) will all miss out.

Three of the last four meetings between these two have ended in draws. And while Spurs have stumbled in the last month, they are still unbeaten in the league and have only lost two of their last 23 on the road.
