TL;DR

  • Arsenal leads Tottenham 2-0 at halftime with goals from Trossard and Eze.
  • Tottenham has struggled with possession and shots, with only 28 percent possession.
  • Arsenal can extend their lead at the top of the Premier League standings.
  • Spurs aim to spoil Arsenal's title charge and secure a top-four spot.

JUMP TO:

Tottenham will host Arsenal on Sunday for the north London derby, with the potential to move even closer to securing the Premier League title.

With Liverpool and Manchester City both suffering defeats on Saturday, the Gunners will be six points clear of second-place Chelsea in the standings should they beat their fierce rivals at Emirates Stadium.

Spurs would be delighted to ruin a potentially lucrative weekend for Mikel Arteta and his squad, and with a win also propelling them into the top four, they'll be keen to secure an away derby triumph for the first time since December 2018.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham  updates, highlights, and commentary

Halftime

Arsenal holds a significant advantage heading into halftime. Spurs conclude the first half with only 28 percent possession, managing just 14 passes in the opponent's territory, and failing to register a single shot.

41 mins: GOAL! EZE MAKES IT TWO! Danso's headed clearance is picked up Rice, who plays it to Eze on the edge of the box. He gets through two Spurs challenges far too easily, and his low shot takes a little deflection before flying beneath Vicario, who got a hand to the ball but couldn't keep it out. On the balance of play, it's a full deserved lead for the Gunners, and it's hard to see Spurs coming back from this.

36 mins: GOAL! TROSSARD SCORES FOR ARSENAL! Merino's delightful pass over the top picks out the run of the Belgian, who was played onside by Udogie. He controls the ball and shoots low while turning, and it takes a big deflection off Van de Ven before finding the bottom corner.

UK:

34 mins: Saka wins a free-kick very near to the spot from which he nearly hit the top corner. He goes for the same target, and Vicario has to get across to parry the ball away.

30 mins: Jurrien Timber looks like he might be through on goal, but Van de Ven gets across and shepherds the ball back to Vicario.

The tifo remains the most interesting thing that's happened today.

20 mins: Spurs' tactic, whenever they win a free-kick near halfway, is to send everyone forward and have Vicario send the ball into the penalty area. It's not really worked so far, but it's helping to slow the game down and give Arsenal's defence something to think about.

19 mins: Bukayo Saka whips a free-kick towards the top corner from a tight angle, and it brushes the outside of the net on its way over. I think a handful of fans thought that had gone in. It's about as close as we've come to any sort of goalmouth action since Vicario's early save.

13 mins: Leandro Trossard's got a problem here. He was just caught on the ankle by Joao Palhinha, and he needed a few minutes of treatment. It looks like he'll continue for now, but Noni Madueke is warming up.

10 mins: There's not much to speak of by way of chances since that Rice effort. Arsenal are having most of the ball, but Spurs' shape is very good.

3 mins: Terrific save from Guglielmo Vicario! Ebere Eze plays a lovely flicked pass over the Spurs defence, Declan Rice volleys it goalwards, but it's straight at the keeper, who does well to make the block. Kevin Danso then nudges the ball out for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Kickoff: First half

After a rousing rendition of North London Forever, we're off and running.

30 mins before kickoff: Morgan Rogers' double has given Aston Villa a 2-1 win at Leeds United and moved them into the top four. Spurs will overtake them on goal difference if they win today.

1 hour 15 mins before kickoff:  The team news is in! Arteta has gone with Piero Hincapie as the replacement in defence for the injured Gabriel. Mikel Merino retains his place as the centre-forward in the absence of Viktor Gyokeres. There's also good news for the Gunners on the bench, with both Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli back after injury.

It appears Spurs are opting for a defensive trio of Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso, and Micky van de Ven. Mohammed Kudus has returned to the starting eleven and seems positioned to support Richarlison in the forward line, with Wilson Odobert occupying the opposite flank.

1 hour 40 mins before kickoff: And here's Spurs' video offering. Got to have some balance, here.

2 hours before kickoff: It's derby day in north London.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham lineups, team news

Gabriel sustained a thigh problem while Brazil defeated Senegal at Emirates Stadium, ruling him out of this match. Consequently, William Saliba will form the central defensive partnership with Piero Hincapie.

Riccardo Calafiori was cleared to play despite a fitness worry, and Mikel Merino kept his spot up front with Viktor Gyokeres still out injured from the knock he picked up at Burnley.

Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke were back from injury and available for selection, offering further support to Arteta as the demanding December period nears.

Arsenal confirmed starting XI (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori — Rice, Zubimendi, Eze — Saka, Merino, Trossard

Arsenal subs: Kepa, White, Mosquera, Martinelli, Norgaard, Madueke, Nwaneri, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman

Frank welcomed back Mohammed Kudus who had missed consecutive matches before the international break, with the winger forming a front three alongside Richarlison and Wilson Odobert.

For this match, Spurs adopted a new tactical setup, featuring a three-man defense with Cristian Romero, Kevin Danso, and Micky van de Ven. This arrangement positioned Destiny Udogie and Djed Spence as wing-backs.

Even with considerable travel during the international break, Rodrigo Bentancur was selected to play in midfield with Joao Palhinha.

Tottenham confirmed starting XI (3-4-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Romero, Danso, Van de Ven — Spence, Palhinha, Bentancur, Udogie — Kudus, Richarlison, Odobert
