Former Arsenal defender Gael Clichy has been speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live about the pressure of playing in the North London derby.

"For me coming from France it was very special. There's never been more emotion put into a game. It was a different time when I played in them, Tottenham wasn't the same team they are now and the same with Arsenal. There's so much to play for.

"Even if Arsenal have won their last two games, without disrespecting anyone they were won against bottom-half of the table teams. They need to win otherwise it will be a long season."

Arsenal have a fully fit squad to choose from, with Granit Xhaka back in contention after a three-game ban.

Manager Mikel Arteta will recall a host of senior players after making 10 changes for Wednesday's Carabao Cup win against AFC Wimbledon.

Tottenham are still without Steven Bergwijn and Ryan Sessegnon but Lucas Moura could come back into contention after resuming training.

Spurs striker Harry Kane is set to make his 250th Premier League appearance.

Fabulous: When will my fellow Spurs supporters come out of la la land & get in the real world. All the nonsense after Saturday asking for Graham Potter to be appointed, Now the Poch brigade are back, give Nuno some time. Nuno came to Spurs with no back team, he had no pre season & inherited a squad in transition. This club is in crisis & cannot move forward with Levy at the helm. End of discussion.

Footballers are all me, me, me. They don't care about the fans*

*They do care. Tim Ream is a top bloke.

"It's the most special game of the season."

That's not Ralph Hasenhuttl talking about Southampton-Wolves, but Mikel Arteta describing Arsenal-Spurs.

"They [Arsenal's players] do know the importance and I will make sure they understand what it means," adds the Gunners boss.

"The history between the two teams and where it came from and what it means emotionally to our supporters. You have to play this game with a slightly different skin because there is a little bit more at stake."

Richard: Wolves in dire need of points. Performances have been largely good and deserving of more than 1 W and 4 L but any Wolves fan will tell you today - we will cheer an ugly performance if we get 3 points and no more injuries !

Don't worry Wolves fans. Lawro had Man Utd to beat Villa 2-0 and Liverpool [surprise, surprise] to win 2-0 at Brentford. He doesn't always get them right.

I was impressed by Southampton in their draw at Manchester City last week. They haven't won yet, but they are not a team that looks like they are in any kind of trouble.

That's why I'm backing Saints to get that first victory here. Wolves have lost four of their first five league games and, although I don't see them struggling for long either, they don't look as strong as they did a couple of seasons ago.

Lawro's prediction: 2-1

MilnerSpurs: Nuno is well out of his depth at Spurs. He did a great job at Wolves and needs time at Spurs but he hasn’t learnt much. If results don’t change soon he will be gone. It’s not about losing it’s the way we have lost. We shouldn’t be losing to Palace away or by three goals at home to Chelsea.
