Things get heated for the first time after Gabriel and Dejan Kulusevski clash. The Swede couldn’t get past the defender and ran into his heels from behind. Tierney is able to calm the situation down quickly.

Ødegaard fires a shot from 20 yards which is easily deflected and jumps straight into the arms of experienced Hugo Lloris.

A strong tackle from Dier, who separates Nketiah from the ball when he wants to enter the penalty area. The replay even reveals that Nketiah dropped without making contact. Lucky for him that the referee doesn’t see this unsportsmanlike behavior.

It was 3-0 after 34 minutes as Arsenal hosted Spurs in the first leg at the Emirates. Emile Smith Rowe, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Bukayo Saka had blown the lead in an outstanding first half. After that, Mikel Arteta’s team didn’t let anything burn. Heung-min Son could only score the consolation goal.

Antonio Conte has to change one position after a strong 1-1 draw against Liverpool at Anfield because Cristian Romero is out at short notice. Davinson Sánchez will replace him in the starting XI. Otherwise he relies on a solid line-up.

The Spurs have only recorded one win in the last four games and that is exactly why they are currently behind the premier class. Because while Antonio Conte’s team was weakening, Arsenal really picked up speed again. Four wins from four games are on record and bring the current lead. Another three would qualify them for the Champions League for the first time in six years.

So they meet four months later, with three games to go with no less than the Champions Leauge qualification at stake. Both teams are separated by four points. The Gunners still hold the advantage.

It’s one of the most important North London derbies in history. Tottenham Hotspur host Arsenal FC at 20:45. Warm welcome!
