Saturday will see the return of one of football’s most exciting club matches: the North London Derby. Tottenham will be the host on this occasion, as they welcome the Gunners to Wembley Stadium in the early kick-off.
Top-four hopes and bragging rights are up for grabs, with Pochettino’s men looking for revenge after losing 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in their earlier meeting. This encounter will also see two exciting strikers go head to head in the form of Harry Kane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
The English and Gabonese forwards are the biggest goalscoring threats for their respective teams.Their stats even prove it.
Harry Kane
Games: 25
Goals: 22
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Games: 17
Goals: 14
The Gunners ace played 17 league games this season – 16 with former club Borussia Dortmund and one with his new club. Factoring in his exile from BVB’s starting lineup in his final weeks at the Signal Iduna Park, the 28-year-old could have had a better goals-per-game ratio than Kane.
Assist is neither of their fortes as the Arsenal man has only three under his belt while the Spurs ace has one. However, the Three Lions ace edges out his rival with his experience in this derby.
The 24-year-old has scored six times in six encounters with Wenger’s side, failing to find the back of the net only once in the reverse fixture. Koscielny and Co. know all too well about Kane’s threat.

Aubameyang has an impressive goalscoring feat of his own. Despite having never faced Spurs in the Premier League, he has scored four goals in four appearances against Tottenham in all competitions.
Furthermore, Arsenal’s new signing scored on his debut and will be looking to maintain that form.The Englishman will be aiming to do what he does best: scoring past the Gunners.
