In our match analysis informing you how to watch Arsenal's Premier League clash with Tottenham on Saturday, we compare team statistics and analyze both teams’their head-to-head record.

What is the form of Tottenham compared to Arsenal?

Up until a week ago, all was going well at Tottenham. Spurs managed four straight wins after that defeat to Man United despite being without the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli. However, upon the return of their star striker last Saturday, Pochettino's men lost 2-1 at Burnley and then were defeated 2-0 at Chelsea to make it back-to-back defeats ahead of the North London Derby.

Arsenal, on the other hand, heads into this game on the back of back-to-back home wins, beating Southampton 2-0 last weekend before thrashing Bournemouth 5-1 this midweek. That means they now boast four wins from their last six games, losing the other two.

Tottenham vs Arsenal head-to-head record

Who is injured/suspended for Tottenham vs Arsenal?

Jan Vertonghen and Harry Winks will have to undergo late fitness tests as both are dealing with hip injuries and could thus miss out. Dele Alli and Eric Dier remain on the sidelines but Harry Kane is available after escaping any punishment from the FA over an incident with Azpiliceuta in the 2-0 loss.

Captain Laurent Koscielny could miss out after picking up a knock in the 5-1 win on Wednesday. Fortunately, Stephan Lichtsteiner and Ainsley Maitland-Niles should both be available.

Could Tottenham's top-four hopes now come under danger?

While much has been said about Tottenham's title chance and how it came to an end after those back-to-back losses, one should not forget that Wembley side is in the midst of a top-four battle. A Champions League spot appeared all but guaranteed a few days back, but after those two results, things could get tricky.

Lose to Arsenal and Emery's fourth-placed side would be within a point of Harry Kane and Co. And given that Pochettino's men will have to travel to Liverpool and Man City in late March and April, respectively, the north London outfit could be in for a battle to qualify for Europe's top competition. Of course, a lot hinges on the result of Saturday's derby.
