Former Arsenal defender Lee Dixon: "Jack Wilshere is a player you enjoy watching - he has drive and determination and for a North London Derby he has the perfect snap in his tackle and demeanor and you need that."

Spurs make 10 changes from their FA Cup win in midweek as Son stays in the team, but they are unchanged form the side that started the 2-2 at Liverpool last Sunday.

There's no Toby Alderweireld in the squad.

For the Gunners, Jack Wilshere and Mohamed Elneny come in for Alex Iwobi and Aaron Ramsey, who grabbed a hat-trick in the 5-1 win at Everton but misses out with a groin injury.

New signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both start.

Arsenal can call on goalkeeper Petr Cech after he limped off with a muscle injury in the stroll against Everton last Saturday. Arsenal have suffered a blow, however, with the absence of hat-trick hero against Everton Aaron Ramsey. He has a groin problem.

The Gunners need victory to stop falling further behind in the race for a top-four place and manager Arsene Wenger will be hoping his new attacking double act of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henriky Mkhitaryan can build on that fine early impression in that 5-1 win over Everton.

Spurs have banished all talk of a Wembley curse that surrounded them earlier this season and were hugely impressive in beating Manchester United here in the league recently.

Wembley is currently quiet - but this is the calm before the North London storm.

One half of your wish has come true...

Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen: "A lot of things have been going on over there [at Arsenal] and between the top teams in the Premier League and it now looks like a different team.

"Obviously it's not but they have signed two great players now, we have played against both of them before for their different clubs, yeah they are great players and they won their last game quite comfortably, but we are just looking forward to playing them."

I get that there will be people out there saying bin Riyad Mahrez but what good is that? I understood where he was coming from, it was a massive opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola, it was tough one to take. But bring him back in, even if you plan to sell him in the summer you want him to be playing games.

Paul Robinson
Birmingham City defender on BBC Radio 5 live

Riyad Mahrez is a Leicester player until whenever. He should get his head down, work hard and get back to the player he was. He needs to forget about what's happened - nothing can happen until the summer.

Leicester would have expected his reaction after turning down a £65m bid. Any player would be unhappy to be refused a move to Man City. But he's contracted to Leicester.

His agents have let him down with the advice they've given him.

I still think they'll get the price they want for him.

Just looking away from this game for a moment - what have we all made of the Riyad Mahrez situation?

Chris: I’m at Wembley and have just seen two people in half and half scarfs for a North London Derby. What’s the world coming to?

The end is nigh

Arsenal have no Aaron Ramsey in their squad despite a hat-trick last weekend, he's injured, but new signings Pierre-Emeerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both start.

Arsenal: Cech; Bellerin, Koscielny, Mustafi, Monreal; Wilshere, Xhaka, Elneny; Ozil, Aubaemyang, Mkhitaryan

Olly: Arsene Wenger was, and is still judged on silverware won. Why should Pochettino get a free pass, unless Tottenham are a smaller club, where winning trophies is not that important?

New Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has scored four goals in four appearances against Tottenham (all for Borussia Dortmund) - one in the Champions League and three goals in the Europa League.

Will the big man start today?

I can tell you in just a few minutes...

Juventus midfielder Sami Khedira tells Football Focus how highly he rates Tottenham striker Harry Kane ahead of the sides' Champions League last-16 tie on Tuesday.

Watch the full interview from 12:00 GMT on BBC One or on this page.

JS: I'm of the belief that Pochettino finishing second with a fraction of the budget of his competitors is far more impressive and important than winning a cup. There's only 3 domestic cups a year, and Manchester City have spent so much. Improbable to win.

Bans for diving? VAR? The debate will go on and on and on and on and on.

If you're a fan of lots of video replays of people falling over, I can't recommend this morning's speed skating enough.

People decking it left, right and centre.

I do feel we are a little bit more open now to say 'you are cheating'. It is like a bad habit, it can't be switched on and off. It needs to be coached out of you.

The point that cuts through is that we need to get it out - it is a simple as that. Dele Alli diving the other night against Liverpool got a slap on the wrists really. It should be looked at after the game and said you have dived there, you have attempted to cheat so here's a one-game ban.

That is the only way they are going to get it out.

Duncan Watmore
Sunderland forward on BBC Radio 5 live

Nobody wants to see diving. It's so bad for the game. As a forward there's pressure to create but I don't think there should be pressure to con the ref because that's cheating. You should be as honest as you can.

But sometimes a tiny bit of contact can take quick players down. It has to be something that stops you carrying on. You don't want to play for contact. In my opinion you should try to stay on your feet.
