sokapro-Arsenal vs Tottenham: Who will be crowned the King of London?

This weekend's game between these two North London rivals should be just as explosive as previous meetings which have been messy, smoky, and hot.

Following the end of the international break, the Premier League will resume with a thrilling North London derby on Saturday lunchtime at the Emirates, featuring Arsenal hosting Tottenham Hotspur. One week after the women's teams made history in their North London derby, the men's crops will battle for supremacy and the chance to sit pretty at the top of the Premier League table. A total of 47,367 supporters made the journey to the Emirates to watch Arsenal Women thump Tottenham 4-0 during the men's international break, and if Saturday's contest is anything as one-sided as the Women's Super League version, then EPL lovers are in for a good treat.

On September 18, as Arsenal defeated Brentford 3-0, newcomer Fabio Vieira, scored the game-winning goal. In the first half, William Saliba and Gabriel Jesus also scored goals for the lopsided Gunners. Having successfully avenged their 2-0 loss at the Brentford Community Stadium last year - irking some with their 'Nice kick about with the boys' comments - Arsenal ensured that they would head into the international break one point clear of Spurs and Manchester City in the first place. Even though their sole Big Six match so far this season resulted in a 3-1 loss to Manchester United, Arsenal ending a four-game stretch without a clean sheet was also a sight for Mikel Arteta's eyes as his club continued to show a ruthless streak that was noticeably missing in teams of the past.

Although they have given up at least one goal in each of their past six Premier League victories at their home stadium, the hosts have won all six of those contests. Tottenham's renowned attacking line has several reasons to silence the home crowd though. After facing countless calls from Tottenham fans to drop the goalless Son Heung Min to the bench due, Antonio Conte's bold move paid dividends against Leicester City, as the South Korea international ended his profligate streak in some style. Son entered the game in the 59th minute, and by the 86th, it was clear that he would be leaving with the match ball after his 13-minute hat-trick added to goals from Harry Kane, Eric Dier, and Rodrigo Bentancur to help the team win 6-2.

As Tottenham continues to trail Arsenal and the defending champions Man City in third place going into the journey across the city, Conte made light of the fact that Son can jokingly anticipate being benched week in and week out if he turns in similar super-sub performances in the future. Tottenham recovered flawlessly in their game against Leicester having come from their Champions League setback at Sporting Lisbon, but the Emirates is not their favorite hunting ground in addition to the fact that only two of their past seven competitive away games have resulted in victories. Last season saw Arsenal win the first leg 3-1 although Tottenham gave them a humbling moment in a 3-0 thrashing in the return fixture. However, Spurs have failed to win any of their 11 North London derbies away from home in the Premier League. The North London derby will serve as one hell of a football thriller.
