Arsenal v Tottenham Hotspur live stream, Sunday 26 September, 4:30pm BST
Arsenal and Tottenham will go head-to-head in an early-season north London derby on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta has eased some of the pressure on his shoulders in the last few weeks, guiding the Gunners to back-to-back victories in the Premier League. A 1-0 victory over Norwich before the international break was more convincing than the scoreline suggests, and Arsenal repeated the tricky by beating Burnley by a goal to nil last weekend.
There is still room for improvement, with Arsenal having scored the joint-fewest goals in the division so far. But it is no surprise that they are starting to pick up positive results now that Arteta has a full complement of players available, including the summer signing Martin Odegaard. Still, the goodwill generated by wins over Norwich and Burnley would quickly dissipate were Arsenal to suffer a home defeat by their biggest rivals this weekend.
Tottenham’s campaign has played out like Arsenal’s in reverse. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side were sitting pretty at the summit of the standings after three games, having won each of them 1-0. But a disastrous performance against Crystal Palace led to a 3-0 defeat at Selhurst Park, before Spurs were undone by the same scoreline against Chelsea last time out.
The worrying thing for Spurs supporters is that they were fortunate to win their first three games. The performances have been largely unconvincing up to now, and Harry Kane’s lack of influence on proceedings has not escaped the attention of the wider public. Nuno could really do with a win on Sunday.
Arsenal could welcome Granit Xhaka back into the midfield after he completed his three-game suspension. Kieran Tierney is expected to feature despite picking up a slight thigh issue against Burnley.
Tottenham will not be able to make use of Steven Bergwijn and Ryan Sessegnon, but Lucas Moura could make a return from an ankle injury.
Kick-off is at 4:30pm BST and the game is being shown live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event in the UK.

VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch Premier league football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch Steve Bruce’s extra-red face without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
