The Premier League TV schedule gets back under way with a bang on Saturday as it is all eyes on the Emirates for the North London derby.

It’s rare that top spot has been the prize for the winner of this fixture in recent years but that will be the case this weekend – with just a point separating Mikel Arteta’s league leaders and third-placed Tottenham.

The Gunners have been the Premier League’s pace-setters this season but came unstuck against Man Utd at Old Trafford, which was their only game against top six opposition so far in 2022/23.

Spurs have not been wholly convincing this season but bounced back from their defeat to Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League by putting six past struggling Leicester ahead of the international break.

Son Heung-min was the catalyst in that match, bagging a 13-minute hat-trick from the bench, and has looked in frightening form for South Korea over the past week with goals against both Costa Rica and Cameroon.

The visitors have struggled at the Emirates over the years, winning just once there in the Premier League since their rivals moved from Highbury, but with top spot in the Premier League as the prize, this weekend’s North London derby is about more than just bragging rights.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Tottenham

If the London derbies we’ve seen so far this term are anything to go by, we should be in for an absolute cracker on Saturday with both sides heading into the game with something to prove.

Tottenham are still looking to shake off their ‘bottlers’ tag. They have not quite reached top gear this term but they’ve ground out results and have looked at their best when they’ve been able to move the ball forward quickly, which could just mean they’re able to expose the Gunners in the way Man Utd did at Old Trafford.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have been good value for their fast start but will need to beat the division’s top teams to convince everyone that they are the real deal.

There are goals in both teams so a high-scoring draw would not be a huge surprise.

Our prediction: Arsenal 2-2 Tottenham (12/1 at bet365)
