This weekend's Premier League main event comes from our raucous Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where we and Arsenal clash in the first North London Derby of the season on Sunday afternoon. We entered the international break on the back of a 1-2\defeat to Newcastle United, while the Gunners lost their perfect start in a controversial 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
The St James' Park curse continues to haunt us, where we have at least managed to reduce our margin of defeat on Newcastle's turf each season, from 6-1 in 2022-23, 4-0 in 2023-24 to a narrow 2-1 loss in the third gameweek of the 2024-25 campaign.
Strikes from Harvey Barnes and alexander Isak either side of a Dan Burn own goal condemned us to our first defeat of the Premier League season, one in which a familiar tale in front of goal arose for us, where we were once again punished for not making the most of our dominance.
A 4-0 thumping of Everton had seemingly dusted off the cobwebs from gameweek one, where our wastefulness on the road cost usin our draw with Leicester City, but a lack of ruthlessness is still prevalent in our ranks if our Newcastle exploits are anything to go by.
Lying smack-bang in the middle of the table in 10th place, we will also endeavour to end a particular pattern of home results in the Premier League, having followed a win-loss sequence since the beginning of April.
Having crushed Everton in our first home contest of the season, the omens are not exactly promising for us if that streak is to continue this weekend, but we could arguably not be facing Arsenal at a more opportune time.

Team News
Our offensive efforts against Newcastle were not helped by the absences of our two main strikers in Solanke and Richarlison, but only the latter is guaranteed to miss out; there is a good chance that Solanke will be available.
We were handed a scare over the fitness of Bissouma during the international break after the Mali midfielder suffered a heavy knock, but we are keeping our fingers crossed that van de Van's knee issue will settle down in time for the weekend.
Bissouma's blow means that Bentancour could be tasked with anchoring our midfield, while Son is out to make the net ripple against Arsenal for the ninth time; only three players have ever scored more in the history of the NLD.
