The North London Derby is here with us again, and as often, it comes with very high stakes for both sides.

Arsenal will be hoping to beat local rivals Tottenham Hotspurs to bolster their chances of finishing in the Champions League positions at the end of the season.

The Gunners are currently ranked fourth in the Premier League with 56 points, four behind Spurs who are third in the standings.

A win for Arsenal will reduce the gap between themselves and Spurs to just one point, with nine games to go.

Spurs on the other hand know a win will provide a much-needed cushion in the race for the top-four.

If Arsenal lose today and Manchester United beat Southampton, the Gunners will be pushed into fifth place. Things would get worse should Chelsea win against Fulham on Sunday by a huge goal tally.

Liverpool currently lead the League with 69 points, one more than defending champions Manchester City.

The Reds are chasing a first Premier League title since 1990, one that will take their tally of PL trophies to 19.
