Arsenal vs. Tottenham: Team News, Preview, Live Stream, TV Info

Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium in the first north London derby of the season on Sunday.

Spurs are unbeaten in the Premier League thus far but have not won a single game in all competitions since beating Manchester City at the start of October, a run spanning six matches.

The Gunners' form offers a sharp contrast, with Sunday's hosts having won nine of their last 10 in all competitions.

Per Simon Johnson of the Evening Standard, Hector Bellerin should be fit to return for the Gunners, but Theo Walcott, Santi Cazorla, Nacho Monreal and Kieran Gibbs will each face fitness tests due to various concerns.

According to Johnson, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has also hinted Granit Xhaka might be left out due to his poor disciplinary record as he has accrued eight red cards since April 2014: "Look I have no specific idea what I will do, but am I a bit concerned? Yes, of course because the discipline is important and we want to be effective in all situations we face."

Meanwhile, per the Sun's Toby Gannon, Harry Kane could be in line to return, but Toby Alderweireld is a doubt and Erik Lamela will be absent with a hip injury.

Predicted Arsenal lineup: Petr Cech; Nacho Monreal, Laurent Koscielny, Shkodran Mustafi, Carl Jenkinson; Francis Coquelin, Mohamed Elneny; Alex Iwobi, Mesut Ozil, Alexis Sanchez; Olivier Giroud

Predicted Tottenham Hotspur lineup: Hugo Lloris; Danny Rose, Jan Vertonghen, Eric Dier, Kyle Walker; Mousa Dembele, Victor Wanyama; Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli, Son Heung-Min; Harry Kane.

Preview

The Gunners come into the game in much the better shape and have a number of players in outstanding form all over the pitch. Their attacking players are shining in particular, and Spurs will need to be at their best to keep out Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud on Sunday.

Tottenham will need to pay special attention to shutting down Mesut Ozil. The German netted a late winner against Ludogorets on Tuesday to ensure Arsenal's qualification for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League.

SB Nation's Marc Dumont was among many to admire his stunning solo effort:

So, too, was Bleacher Report UK's James McNicholas:

The playmaker has provided just three assists so far this term but has made up for it with an increased goal output—he has seven already in all competitions and needs just one more to equal last season's tally.

Not only will Spurs need to be wary of his creative presence, they'll also need to be alive to his goal threat.

The Lilywhites have typically been defensively solid under Mauricio Pochettino—they have conceded just five Premier League goals this season, the best record in the top flight—but as Squawka Football revealed, they've even struggled at the back of late:

Former Tottenham chairman Lord Sugar believes Arsenal will have few concerns at the prospect of playing a side that slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday:

"

Watching Spurs tonight at Wembley the Arsenal players will be quaking in their boots .....with laughter for Sunday

Indeed, unless there's a significant improvement from Spurs, the Gunners should have little trouble on Sunday.

Spurs manager Pochettino is hoping to see just that. He told Spurs' official website: "We need to find the answers ourselves and try to increase our levels. The players are very disappointed but we need to lift them because we have a very important game ahead of us. It’s good now to go to Arsenal on Sunday and show we are a real team."

His side may well step up their game for the derby, but if the Gunners can replicate their recent form here, they should be able to earn the local bragging rights.
