TEAM FORM:----- Spurs DWLWD ------- Arsenal WWWWD ---- (All Competitions)
Arsenal have only kept one clean sheet in their last 10 EPL away games against us (W1 D3 L6). A 1-0 victory in March 2014. They are unbeaten away from home in London Derbies so this season (W1 D2) - they last remained unbeaten in all of their away London derbies in a single Premier League (PL) season back in 24-05.
The Nomads are looking to win 3 consecutive PL away games for the first time since October 2018, while they last won 3 in a row on the road without conceding back in 2013.
Aubameyang has been involved in 4 goals in his last 3 PL games against us (3 goals 1 assist). However, all of these goal involvements have been at the Library, with the Gabonese striker missing a last minute penalty in this exact fixture last term.
We are unbeaten in our last 5 home league games against the Gooners (W3 D2), with this the first ever meeting between the sides at our new home. We have dropped 42 points from winning positions in the PL games against them, more than any side has dropped against another in the competitions history.
We have won our last two home PL games, and are looking to win three in a row for the first time since 2019 - this is in our first three PL at our new stadium.
Both Mourinho and Arteta are taking charge of their first ever North London Derby matches. The last meeting between the side that was the first such match for both managers was in September 1986 when George Graham and David Pleat played out a 0-0 draw at Highbury.
Jose has never lost a home game against the Gooners in his career, winning 5 and drawing 4 of his nine games - only versus Everton and Man Utd (both 10 games) has he faced more often at home without losing.
Kane has scored 10 goals against them for us - if he scores in this game he will be the outright top scorer in Spurs vs Arsenal fixture in history. 5 of his PL goals against them have been penalties - only Alan Shearer against Everton (7) has scored more from the spot against an opponent in the competition.
