Arsenal's top Guns

As reported earlier, Arsenal have the best attack in the Premier League this season with 82 goals in 34 matches.

Kai Havertz has scored 11 Prem goals, which is at least three more than in any of his previous three campaigns with Chelsea.

Leandro Trossard, on the other hand, has netted three league goals in his last four appearances.

And the Gunners' captain Martin Odegaard has been involved in six goals in his last six Premier League away games, scoring three and assisting three along the way.

Bukayo Saka chasing history

Tottenham will want to keep an eye on Arsenal star Bukayo Saka today.

Saka is the Gunners' top scorer in the Premier League with 14 goals in 32 appearances.

And the winger could become the first English player to score home and away for the North Londoners against Spurs in a league fixture since Ian Wright back in the in 1993-94 campaign.

The England international starts down his favourite right wing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Son on fire

Tottenham will need star man and captain Son Heung-min to have a good day today against rivals Arsenal.

Son scored twice for Spurs in the reverse fixture against the Gunners in September at the Emirates.

Only five players have scored more goals in the fixture's history across all competitions than the forward's seven.

The only player to net multiple goals in both North London Derby matches in a league season was Arsenal's Ted Drake in the 1934-35 campaign.

The South Korea international is the North Londoners' top scorer this season with 15 goals in 29 Premier League appearances this season.
