Tottenham and Arsenal are both coming into the game after defeats, with neither side looking hugely convincing thus far.

North London derbies are often entertaining affairs, so we are predicting a 2-2 draw.

Arsenal 1-2 Tottenham

65 minutes

Almost the perfect start for Ceballos! He collects the ball around 25 yards out, turns and unleashes a ferocious shot that requires a strong save from Lloris.

Lacazette seems to have picked up an injury, so he's replaced by Mkhitaryan.

Arsenal 1-2 Tottenham

70 minutes

The pressure is almost constant from Arsenal now. Losing Lacazette could prove significant, though. Spurs will, no doubt, have been pleased to see him withdrawn.

GOAL! Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham (Aubameyang)

71 minutes

Arsenal are level! Guendouzi does brilliantly to pick out the run of Aubameyang, who gets the slightest of touches on the pass to guide the ball past Lloris. That's been coming.

Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

74 minutes

Winks is next into the book for a cynical foul. The Emirates is rocking and Spurs are struggling to cope with wave after wave of attacks.

Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

75 minutes

Xhaka unleashes an absolute piledriver of a shot that Lloris parries away. The ball just keeps coming back towards Tottenham's box, though. They need to find a way out somehow.

Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

77 minutes

Another Arsenal corner drops out to the edge of the box, where Pepe lines up a shot. He connects well but his effort doesn't have the accuracy, blazing it over the bar.

Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

79 minutes

Lo Celso is on for Son as Pochettino looks for more control in midfield.

Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

80 minutes

Arsenal have the ball in the net, but the flag is up and it won't count. Kolasinac is played in down the left and crosses towards the back post, where Sokratis converts. But the former, as VAR confirms, was standing in an offside position.

Callum Rice-Coates1 September 2019 18:09

Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham

82 minutes

Spurs are given some respite, winning a free kick deep in Arsenal's half. Eriksen's delivery is poor, though, and Arsenal clear comfortably. But Lo Celso is fouled and Tottenham have another free kick.
