Preview: The latest instalment of the North London Derby

Loading player...
The North London Derby is back! A rivalry as old as time, as fiery as ever, is set to ignite the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal hosts Tottenham Hotspur. Despite defensive solidity on the road this season—conceding a league-low nine away goals—Tottenham has faced goalkeeping challenges. Guglielmo Vicario's ankle injury and Fraser Forster's exposed weaknesses have been compounded by third-choice Brandon Austin's debut struggles against Newcastle. However, Tottenham has made a significant January signing, acquiring Antonin Kinsky from Slavia Praha for £16 million. The 21-year-old immediately impressed, keeping a clean sheet in the Londoners' EFL Cup semi-final against Liverpool and could follow that up with another against the Gunners.
