Chris Coleman has left his job as Wales manager - to take over at Championship club Sunderland. Surprised?

Coleman will succeed Simon Grayson, who was sacked after 18 games in charge.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) confirmed: "Regretfully, Chris Coleman has resigned from his position with immediate effect."

Ex-defender Coleman, 47, succeeded the late Gary Speed in 2012 and guided them to an historic appearance at Euro 2016, where they reached the semi-finals.

There's a suspicion of fog and mist rolling in at the Emirates as the players go about their pre-match warm-ups.

Just over half an hour until kick-off.

Charlie Bayliss: Have just seen Mark Taylor's comments (11:32) on here, questioning if some Arsenal fans want to see Spurs beat us to see Wenger go. Did United fans want to see their team lose against City to get rid of Moyes? Fair-weather fans if so.

Where is today's match likely to be won and lost?

Arsene Wenger has started his £50m striker after criticism for leaving him out last time out - but can the Gunners keep Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen quiet?

Arsenal make two changes to the side that lost at Manchester City before the international break. Francis Coquelin and Alex Iwobi drop out with Shkodran Mustafi and Alexandre Lacazette coming in.

Arsenal XI: Cech, Koscielny, Mustafi, Monreal, Bellerin, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Ozil, Lacazette, Sanchez.

Tottenham shuffle the pack for the north London derby, making a total of five changes to the side that beat Crystal Palace.

Paulo Gazzaniga, Serge Aurier, Harry Winks, Danny Rose and Son Heung-min are replaced by Hugo Lloris, Kieran Trippier, Mousa Dembele, Ben Davies and Dele Alli.

Spurs XI: Lloris, Trippier, Sanchez, Dier, Vertonghen, Davies, Sissoko, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli Kane.

Darrell: It's 6.14am here in Peru. Just got up for the North London Derby and I am expecting an Arsenal victory. My Saturday shall not be ruined. The team will deliver for us fans. They owe it to us. 3-1 win.

Lewis Starks: It will be interesting to see if Kane, Alli and Winks have recovered from their bouts of internationalitis!

Mark Taylor: As a Man Utd fan, even though it would hurt, do some Arsenal fans secretly want to get hammered today to get rid of Wenger?

Arsenal make two changes from the team which lost at Manchester City before the international break. In come Shkodran Mustafi and Alexandre Lacazette.

Spurs make five changes from the team which beat Palace. Hugo Lloris, Kieran Trippier, Mousa Dembele, Ben Davies and Dele Alli return - Harry Kane is fit.

By the time Arsene Wenger's finished watching Netflix on his tablet in bed he hasn't got time to read a book. Who has?

When asked if he had read Mauricio Pochettino's new book, Wenger said: "No, because I have no time, not because it is not interesting. Because I have a good experience of managing.

"Look, I have nothing against it. I am open-minded to it. But I have not much time in my schedule."

Wenger, 68, has had books written about him but has never put anything down in his own words.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger certainly seems in the mood for his the north London derby.

In his programme notes he writes: "The clubs are very close, they have a very animated history - that is the least you can say - and overall every derby is special circumstances.

"On top of that we added some things in terms of players coming to us - I added some fuel to it!"

What can Mr. Wenger mean?

Like a tin of Quality Street, I didn't expect to see Zlatan this side of Christmas. But what do I know?

Nothing, as per usual. With Romelu Lukaku hitting the bricks a touch maybe he is just what Manchester United need...

Chelsea are without Michy Batshuayi and Charly Musonda because of respective ankle and knee problems.

Victor Moses remains out but Gary Cahill and Danny Drinkwater are both fit after minor injuries.

David Luiz will travel with the Chelsea squad. The Brazilian was not even a substitute in the Blues' last game, with boss Antonio Conte confirming his omission was tactical.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who returned to work on Thursday after a health scare, can select from a near full-strength squad.

Sadio Mane aggravated a hamstring problem on international duty and will be monitored, while Jordan Henderson and long-term absentee Adam Lallana are fit after thigh injuries.

But Morgan Schneiderlin and Kevin Mirallas, who were both left out of the squad for Everton's last fixture, are available for selection this time around. And there definitely wasn't any row, ok?
