Tottenham vs Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result, final score & reaction as Son and Kane punish 10-man Gunners

9 mins: Arsenal have a couple of shots at goal from range. Martin Odegaard sends his effort into the hands of Hugo Lloris before Bukayo Saka has a go from the edge of the box. He slips just as he connects with the ball and scuffs it softly towards goal.

6 mins: Tottenham send the ball over to Dejan Kulusevski who has space to run into down the right wing. He knocks the ball into Arsenal’s final third but Gabriel skips in front of him to shield the ball. Both players tussle shoulder-to-shoulder in an attempt to get possession before they collapse in a heap and the referee awards Arsenal a free kick.

3 mins: It’s very loud in the stadium as the fans are creating a rocking atmosphere. Arsenal have started quickly with Eddie Nketiah confident enough to take on the Tottenham defence. He’s fed the ball by Martin Odegaard and spins towards goal. He shifts away from Ben Davies and drives into the box only for Eric Dier to leap across and dispossess him with a sliding tackle.

Arsenal get the game underway and work the ball high up the right side of the pitch where Eddie Nketiah gives away an early free kick to Tottenham.

Here come the players. This is a huge match for both these teams, the winner could end up in the Champions League next season. Arsenal know that three points will be enough for them to claim fourth place. Tottenham know a win will cut the gap on the Gunners to just one with two games to play.

Almost time for kick off at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Can Spurs overcome Arsenal and keep the race for top four alive or will the Gunners be victorious and secure Champions League football next season?

Antonio Conte has won just one of his eight games against Arsenal as a manager with all those meetings coming during his tenure at Chelsea.

Mikel Arteta spoke to Sky Sports ahead of kick off and explained his decision to include Bukayo Saka in tonight’s Arsenal team. He said: “Bukayo Saka trained yesterday and he felt good so he is in.

“We always prepare to win and we want to do that tonight. We have come so far doing what is our strengths and we will keep doing that.”

Harry Kane is the top scorer in North London derby history in all competitions, with 11 goals in 16 games. However, he’s not scored in either of his last two appearances against the Gunners, his longest drought against them.

Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka both have the chance to become the first Englishman to score for the Gunners in home and away fixtures against Spurs in a season since Ian Wright in 1993-94.
