Tottenham get the first half underway.
Hello and welcome to live commentary of this Premier League fixture between Tottenham and Arsenal. The hosts enter this North London derby on the back of a disappointing draw with Bournemouth that ensured they dropped to 10th in the table. There’s still hope that a fine run of late form could help Spurs push for European qualification though, and they’ll be desperate to begin that against rivals Arsenal today.
Arsenal, meanwhile, sit just one point above Spurs in eighth – but, with three wins from their last four and a rejuvenated team under Mikel Arteta, they’ll be confident that they can extend that gap today.
SUBS: Ryan Sessegnon, Paulo Gazzaniga, Steven Bergwijn, Gedson Fernandes, Jan Vertonghen, Japhet Tanganga, Erik Lamela, Oliver Skipp, Tanguy Ndombele.
ARSENAL (3-4-3): Emiliano Martinez; Shkodran Mustafi, David Luiz, Saed Kolasinac; Hector Bellerin, Dani Ceballos, Granit Xhaka, Kieran Tierney; Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
SUBS: Ainsley Maitland-Niles, Cedric Soares, Sokratis, Joseph Willock, Matt Macey, Rob Holding, Reiss Nelson, Bukayo Saka, Lucas Torreira.
Tottenham make three changes to the side that drew with Bournemouth last time out: most notably, Vertonghen drops to the bench with Sanchez taking his place in the heart of defence. Aside from that, Jose Mourinho opts to rotate his wingers, with Bergwijn and Lamela making way for Son and Lucas.
TOTTENHAM (4-3-3): Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Davinson Sanchez, Ben Davies; Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks, Giovani Lo Celso; Lucas Moura, Harry Kane, Son Heung-min.
The players are emerging from the tunnel and kick off is just seconds away!
If the game carries on in the same, adventurous way then you'd think there'll surely be more goals. Both teams look fluent and dangerous going forward, but equally, they look nervous and prone to errors defensively.
That's all for now though, goodbye!
The result means that Tottenham jump past Arsenal in the table and surge up to eighth place in the hunt for European qualification. The away side, meanwhile, drop to ninth (two points behind their opponents) as a positive end to the season looks increasingly unlikely.
