Arsenal vs Tottenham tactics: Rice fight, Zinchenko targeted and how the north London derby will be won
Both clubs have four wins and a draw from their opening five games as Mikel Arteta looks to build another Premier League title challenge and Ange Postecoglou makes an impressive start down the road.
Saka to give Udogie true test
Destiny Udogie has made a fine start to his Tottenham career, but Sunday will show what he is really made of.
The 20-year-old must find a way to stop Bukayo Saka, who already has three goals and four assists this season.
Bissouma and Rice midfield battle
Yves Bissouma has been one of Tottenham’s brightest sparks under Ange Postecoglou, rediscovering the form he showed during his time at Brighton.
The 27-year-old will look to break up play and stifle Arsenal’s midfield, but he will have to find a way of thwarting Declan Rice, who has added the power Arsenal’s midfield was craving and will look to dictate the tempo of Sunday’s game.
Tottenham to target Zinchenko
If there is one weakness in Arsenal’s defence, it can be argued that it is Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The Ukrainian is excellent on the ball, however at times he can be vulnerable defensively.
