Arsenal vs Tottenham LIVE: Premier League result and reaction from four-goal thriller

3 mins: OFFSIDE! Bissouma’s shot from the edge of the box is turned home by Son, but the Spurs’ captain doesn’t celebrate, knowing he’s comfortably offside.

3 mins: As expected, Spurs will still try to play their own way but Arsenal are hot on their heels with the press. The visitors do make their way up the pitch, though, as Johnson’s effort is deflected behind for the game’s first corner.

1 min: Tottenham get us under way in this first half.

The players emerge from the tunnel to a thunderous Emirates atmosphere. Kick-off is right around the corner - what a cracker this should be!

Just under ten minutes until kick-off at the Emirates. A few changes for both sides and a number of north London derby debuts. Who will have the telling contribution today for their side?

Ange Postecoglou on why he has handed Brennan Johnson his first Tottenham start: “Looking at the context of the game and what we may need today. Brennan has trained well and his pace will add another dimension to our game.

“A good performance is the key. You want to know how you are going to go against one of the best teams in the league. It is about our performance. I am looking forward to it. I have had a lot of firsts this season and this is anther one. It’s why we do what we do.”

• Arsenal have won four of their last five Premier League games against Tottenham (L1), as many victories as they had in their previous 16 against them beforehand (D6 L6).

• Tottenham have won just one of their last 30 Premier League away games against Arsenal (D11 L18), and are winless in 12 (D4 L8) since a 3-2 victory in November 2010.

• Arsenal are looking to win three consecutive league games against Tottenham for the first time since a run of five between 1987 and 1989.

Mikel Arteta on facing Ange Postecoglou for the first time: “For sure they’ve had a really good start and they are in a good moment and we are too so it’s a big game and we’re going to have to battle the right way to win it,” he added.

“They dominate the games, they win the games, they score a lot of goals and they’re an attacking flowing team and they go for it so they’ll bring a different approach to the game than what we’ve played in the league so far.

“They have a new challenge, a new opportunity, they have a new manager who is doing really well and he’s managed to change the vibe around the club and with a different style too.

“So we need to be ourselves and produce the performance to beat them.”

Mikel Arteta explains Leandro Trossard absence: “He felt a muscle in training and he wasn’t fit. We have to see the extent of that injury but he wasn’t fit for today. Somebody has to come and fill that gap. You have to adapt to it and give opportunities to the other players and step in.”

Ange Postecoglou on facing Mikel Arteta: “In terms of similarities, I’m 58, he’s whatever (41). I’ve had 26 years, he’s five years into it. He’s managed in one country, I’ve managed in a few. I’m not sure how he’s got a great head of hair!

“He’s a lot fitter than I am. I don’t know, there’s not a lot of threads I can sort of join between us. I wouldn’t say we’re opposites.

“We’re different. Even in the way his team plays. Yes he does have a very attacking philosophy but it’s different from mine and that’s the beauty of the game. That’s what you love about it.

“It’s why you can’t copy. If you’re an artist and you see a Picasso, yeah you can copy it, but it’s not going to be a Picasso is it? It’s the same with football.

“You can see that somebody does something really well, but don’t bring your own personality into it. I have great admiration for the way he’s gone about things and how he’s stuck to his beliefs. It’s a credit to him.”
