    Emile Smith Rowe

    Lift-off!

    Arsenal turn their bright start into a goal and the Emirates erupts.

    Bukayo Saka, head up, finds Emile Smith Rowe inside the box to steer past Hugo Lloris.

    Lovely stuff.

    Arsenal have made the brighter start and some early moments of high energy from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang have lifted the noise levels. Spurs manager Nuno Espirito Santo is already prowling his technical area.

    Bukayo Saka is the first player to start three Premier League north London derbies before turning 21 since Gareth Bale in 2010.

    That was everything that you want to see from good passing play at the back.

    It wasn't too intricate, a lovely ball from Ben White and Tierney was so advanced on the left hand side and put it in first time for Aubameyang.

    Really good start.

    Good, positive start by Arsenal. They're being fuelled by the home crowd and they're playing with high energy.

    Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

    A deflected shot by Son Heung-min dribbles wide. He's offside anyway. Arsenal respond through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who forces a save from Hugo Lloris. Aubameyang, too, was offside.

    Raucous atmosphere. There's so much energy and passion on display. Good to see both sides in their traditional kits.

    The game is yet to settle.

    Lovely challenge by Ben White which is cheered loudly.

    Son Heung-min thinks he's away but White comes sliding in.

    A proper timely challenge.

    Kane loves scoring against Arsenal and he hasn't scored much this season so it's poised perfectly for him to stamp his mark on this Premier League season in this game.

    It's a derby game and you can look at form and you can look at opportunities but at times that form goes out of the window.

    Today is that day, with supporters back here in the stadium for a London derby it makes such a difference.

    I don't think either team is really functioning yet or hitting the heights they want too, so they both have an equal opportunity of either winning or losing.

    It could go any way I think.

    Listen to those jeers!

    Tottenham emerge from the tunnel to loud boos.

    Then a huge roar as Arsenal step out of the tunnel into the sunlight.

    Chris: Disgruntled Saints fans should show some faith in their manager and team. Draws against both Manchester teams, West Ham and Newcastle are good results. Saints have to keep selling good players to survive but consistently get enough results to stay up or better and will do so again. Talk of getting rid of Ralph is ridiculous. Who do you think you are going to get who will be better? James W-P has an off day today but can win games when he is on it like he did at Villa Park last season. Have faith!

    A belting atmosphere at the Emirates. Arsenal fans are whipping up a wall of noise as the two teams get ready to step out.

    Here we go...

    Daniel: Apart from Xhaka's return I'm pretty happy with the starting line-up. It's as strong as we can get it this season. Come on lads, let's do them today.

    FT: Southampton 0-1 Wolves

    Wolves

    Wolves' Raul Jimenez, who scored the winner for his first goal since suffering a fractured skull, tells Sky Sports: "I want to score every game, I knew the goal was coming, I was fighting for it, working for it and all the team deserve it.

    "I was thinking 'when will the goal come?'. It felt really good. Four of our five games have been incredible, we need to keep going like this. We did a really good job.

    "The fans are always with us, supporting. It is really important for our team, to have them supporting and shouting."

    Would it even be derby day if we didn't have someone walking up to the ground with their arms out?

    I don't think so.
