If you got a pie chart, some crayons and were asked to plot Arenal and Tottenham's leading scorers, it might look like this:

David Pleat
Former Tottenham manager on BBC Radio 5 live:

"Arsenal have been ruthless recently. Tottenham have not had such good overall form, but in Kane and Eriksen they have a couple of players that have pulled them out of the fire in recent times.

"Arsenal are two points ahead of Tottenham, but local derbies are a great leveller. But if the Gunners win this game today I don't think Tottenham will finish above them this season. But if this game is drawn or won by Tottenham then I think Spurs will have made a real statement, because they will still be in the hunt for fourth."

MOTD's Jonathan Pearce at White Hart Lane

"This will be my 40th north London derby as a commentator and it promises to be one of the tastiest yet. It's a massive game at the start of a month that'll define the season for both clubs.

"Tottenham have lost just twice in 14 games, Arsenal have won 12 of their last 15. Both sides have picked up 19 points from a possible 24 and they're neck and neck in the race for a top-four place."

A reminder Football Focus is about to get under way over on BBC One. Former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson and former Republic of Ireland winger Kevin Kilbane are joining Dan Walker in the studio today.

And don't forget you can also watch online, at the top of this page, from 12:10 GMT.

Moving away from White Hart Lane for a brief second, we're hearing that, contrary to reports, ex-Spurs boss Tim Sherwood is NOT at Loftus Road today. Sherwood has been linked with the manager's job at QPR...

There's a fair chance we could see a penalty or two today, if the pre-match stats are anything to go by. Tottenham have conceded a league-high six penalties in the Premier League this season, while Arsenal have won the most (six). It could be an interesting afternoon for referee Martin Atkinson.

We're down to the last 16 in the Scottish Cup, with each division in the Scottish Professional Football League still represented along with Spartans from the Lowland League.

Half of the Premiership sides are gone already, with two more guaranteed to follow and at least three teams from outside the top flight certain to progress to the quarter-finals.

Celtic, with aspirations of a domestic treble, travel to Dundee for the lunchtime kick-off.

It's fair to say Arsenal have traditionally held the upper hand in this fixture, but if Tottenham win today it would be their 50th league victory over their closest rivals. This is the 156th league meeting.

Those with a half-decent memory will already know that Arsenal won 1-0 at White Hart Lane last season, courtesy of Tomas Rosicky's second-minute goal. It ended a five-match winless streak away at Tottenham (D2, L3).

How will Spurs respond?

Tottenham just about have the edge in North London derbies at White Hart Lane in the Premier League but it is nowhere near as emphatic as Arsenal's record in the reverse fixture. The Gunners have only lost two home derbies in the league in the Premier League, winning 17.

Today we're asking you for your questions for former England winger Chris Waddle about the match between Aston Villa and Chelsea.

Big hopes for Cuadrado? Villa to beat the drop?

Chris will be in the commentary box with BBC Radio 5 live for the match, which starts at 15:00 GMT.

Send them in using #bbcfootball, external on Twitter, or text us on 81111 (UK only) before 13:15 GMT and we'll put the best few to Chris as part of our build-up to the game.

Thanks Mandeep, sterling work as ever. How is everyone? Ready for Premier League derby day?

We've got a great afternoon ahead with the 3pm kick-offs - which feature both Chelsea and Manchester City - being bookended by the north London derby and Steven Gerrard's final Merseyside derby.

It could be more exciting than a night out with Mario Balotelli. Or pretty close.

If there's someone I would want in my corner for a derby it's Marc Higginson and he will be seeing you through the rest of the afternoon. So thanks for your company and enjoy.

BBC Radio 5 live

Earlier, we asked you to send in your questions for former Tottenham manager David Pleat, who will be co-commentating as BBC Radio 5 live brings you full coverage of Spurs v Arsenal in today's 12:45 GMT kick-off.

Question: How do you see today's game going?

David replied: "There will always be tension and excitement, much more than normal. Sometimes the pressure is on the home side because they are cheered on by the majority of the crowd, urging them to win with a sense of expectation. The record of Arsenal in recent derbies is in their favour and they have done very well at Tottenham. This game is very difficult to analyse and one would have to think it will be very close. But the odds would have to favour Arsenal because on their recent form they have been ruthless."

Nabil Bentaleb returns to the Tottenham side having completed his Africa Cup of Nations duties with Algeria. He replaces Paulinho and will partner Ryan Mason in midfield. The only other Spurs change from the 3-0 win at West Brom sees defender Eric Dier come in for Federico Fazio, who drops to the bench. Striker Emmanuel Adebayor is nowhere to be seen.

Alexis Sanchez has been unable to prove his fitness, so Arsenal make one change from the 5-0 win over Aston Villa. Theo Walcott drops to the bench, with Danny Welbeck replacing him in attack.

Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Rose, Bentaleb, Mason, Eriksen, Dembele, Lamela, Kane.

Arsenal XI: Ospina, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Ramsey, Welbeck, Cazorla, Ozil, Giroud.

Neal Collins: The long suffering 'Goalden' Retriever says Arsenal 3-1.

Bob: Been saying all week that the north London derby has got score draw written all over it, then I remember what Spurs did to Chelsea and I think what if? As always with Spurs, it's the hope that kills you.

Ollie Blake: Prediction 3-1 to Arsenal. Theo, Giroud and the mighty Rosicky, he always performs in the big games.

There's no Emmanuel Adebayor for Tottenham but what a record he has in the North London derby, having scored eight goals for Arsenal and two for Tottenham. He is only one of two players to score for both sides in one along with Jimmy Robertson.

One thing he hasn't done though is score a treble in a derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, with only three players having achieved that feat. Any guesses?

Terry Dyson is the only Spurs player having done so on 26 August 1961, in a 4-3 win for Spurs, while the Arsenal players to have done so are Ted Drake (20 October 1934) and Alan Sunderland (23 December 1978).

Panic over. Arsenal are at White Hart Lane after being stuck in traffic.

Nabil Bentaleb goes straight into the Tottenham side after coming back from the Africa Cup of Nations. Harry Kane is up front for Spurs. Arsenal are without Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott is on the bench as Danny Welbeck starts up front.
