Burnley's Chris Wood may only be fit enough for a place on the bench, with a hamstring problem preventing him from starting New Zealand's play-off games.

Jon Walters and Tom Heaton remain out, while Nakhi Wells is absent with an injury sustained in a training match.

Swansea welcome back Wilfried Bony, Martin Olsson and Renato Sanches from injuries.

Ki Sung-yueng will be assessed following his return from international duty with South Korea.

Bournemouth will make a late decision on forward Joshua King, who is doubtful with a back problem.

Junior Stanislas, Tyrone Mings and Brad Smith remain out but Benik Afobe has recovered from a thigh strain.

Huddersfield will assess Aaron Mooy following his return from international duty in Australia.

The Terriers are without suspended centre-back Christopher Schindler (pictured), so Martin Cranie could start his first Premier League game since 2007.

We'll have team news from the Emirates in about 40 minutes - which of course means that time is running out for any late fantasy football changes.

Let's have a scout around some early team news from the other games...

I feel like you need to see Will Ferrell's predictions...

"This feels like a strange game to start us off again after two weeks without the Premier League," says Lawro.

"There has still been plenty of hype about it, but I think there would have been more without the international break.

"Will that hype be justified? Probably not. I have a feeling both teams will cancel each other out, and both of them will be happy enough with a point."

We've been asking you to select your combined starting XI from the Arsenal and Tottenham squads, and the results (as of 06:00 GMT this morning) have been interesting.

From more than 50,000 teams selected, three Gunners have made the final side - Alexandre Lacazette, Alexis Sanchez and Hector Bellerin.

Mesut Ozil and Laurent Koscielny were among the top 12 selections, but miss out because there were four more popular players across defence and midfield.

It won't surprise you to know that Harry Kane was the most popular selection, featuring in 95% of teams.

The most selected Arsenal player was Alexis Sanchez in sixth - he was picked in 82% of teams.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino says his Arsenal counterpart Arsene Wenger is a "special manager".

"In football history he's one of the great managers, the same level as [former Manchester United manager Alex] Ferguson," Pochettino said.

"He will always be a special manager. To keep motivation more than three years is difficult. Five years, you must be very good, very good if you're 10 years.

"When you talk about 20 years it's amazing. Everyone who talks about him needs to show respect. Some days you're good, some days not so good. But show respect.

"Wenger was an innovator, ahead of everyone, like Ferguson."

Dog, underdogs. It's all happening...

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, asked whether his side are underdogs: "No, not at all. Tottenham are a good side but we have the quality to win this game and that's what we want to show.

"The conclusion of people will be the comparison of the two performances on Saturday. We have a good opportunity to show we are the strongest, so let's do it.

"At home we have been very strong and our home strength will certainly be vital to decide where we finish at the end of the season."

In nearly 30 years of commentating on this fixture I never cease to be amazed.

Tottenham could reinforce their position as kings of north London by stretching their record unbeaten run against their old rivals to seven league games - especially with Harry Winks, Dele Alli and Harry Kane (who has never failed to score against the Gunners in a league game) all set to be fit.

Or Arsenal could just as easily extend their record winning streak at the Emirates by claiming an 11th home league victory on the spin.

I've seen big leads cancelled out in this historic fixture, last-gasp winners, furious losers. My only prediction? It'll be unpredictable!

Olivier Giroud is set to miss out for Arsenal with a minor injury.

The Gunners will assess Shkodran Mustafi and Danny Welbeck, who are back in training following lay-offs, while Alexandre Lacazette may earn a recall.

Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Harry Winks are all expected to feature for Tottenham despite missing England duty because of injury problems.

Goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who sat out the win against Crystal Palace because of a groin injury, could also return.

Back-up goalkeeper Michel Vorm rejoined training on Thursday and will also be assessed, but Toby Alderweireld's hamstring problem is worse than first feared and the defender will be sidelined until after Christmas.

The north London derby kicks the day off but there are also SIX games at 15:00 GMT to keep us busy.

Here's the line-up:

Bournemouth v Huddersfield

Burnley v Swansea

Crystal Palace v Everton

Leicester v Manchester City

Liverpool v Southampton

West Brom v Chelsea

It's been three-and-a-half years since Arsenal last beat their biggest rivals in the Premier League.

Tomas Rosicky scored the only goal. Spurs had Paulinho, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Roberto Soldado - Adebayor! - in their side.

The Gunners haven’t won any of their last six Premier League meetings with Spurs (D4 L2) – their longest ever winless run against their rivals in league competition.

Can they turn things around this lunchtime? Or will it be more glory for the men in white?
