North London derby the showpiece of first weekend since international break
Tottenham host Arsenal in a huge Premier League north London derby this weekend.
It is quite the return from the international break for a Spurs side who have frustrated at times this season.
Ange Postecoglou’s side threw two points away at Leicester and dominated the game at Newcastle before the break, only to end up with nothing. While they did thrash Everton between those games, it’s difficult to draw too many definitive conclusions given just how abject the Toffees were that day.
Still, getting anything out of the derby could kick their season into life.
While the Gunners are unbeaten so far this season, their 1-1 draw with Brighton before the break was disappointing. Given the standards title rivals Manchester City have set, any dropped points could prove fatal come May.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game
Tottenham vs Arsenal is scheduled for a 2pm BST kick-off time on Sunday 15 September, 2024.

LIVE coverage: Follow all the action with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog! Dan Kilpatrick and Simon Collings will be providing expert analysis from the ground.
Spurs will hope to have Micky van de Ven available after the defender missed the loss at Newcastle before pulling out of the Netherlands squad over the international break. Dominic Solanke may return too, having sat out the last two games.
Richarlison is thought to be the other injury worry at this stage and he is not expected to be fit.
Arsenal also have concerns of their own.
Martin Odegaard was forced off for Norway earlier this week, but may have avoided serious injury. Riccardo Calafiori took a knock while representing Italy. Mikel Merino, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Kieran Tierney are all injured, while Gabriel Jesus has been dealing with a groin problem of late.

Much depends on the injuries for both sides but neither will want to risk too much this early into the season.
