It's LOUD.

Tottenham Hotspur

Antonio Conte speaking to BT Sport about Dejan Kulusevski's hamstring injury: "He came back [from international duty] with an injury. We hope it is nothing serious but for sure there is a problem in his muscle. We have to wait to find out the real problem he has.

"We also have to recover Ben Davies and Lucas Moura. We are worried about Lucas because he is not recovering the problem he has."

On Richarlison: "He played well for the international team and I felt it was right for him to start this game."

Adam Crafton
Reporter for The Athletic, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club

I'm really glad Richarlison is starting today. I know Kulusevski is fantastic as well but for a derby match, they need all the energy that Richarlison brings. From an entertainment point of view, that will make it a better match.

Real air of excitement around Emirates Stadium today reflecting the starts these two teams have made this season.

Arsenal are top of the table and showing genuine signs of significant development under Mikel Arteta while Spurs have a streak of street-wisdom under Antonio Conte that makes them such tough opponents.

The surface getting a soaking and the staff are out doing some last minute work in the pitch then we're off.

Here come the teams in the tunnel. Harry Kane is one of the first players out and he's got his game face on.

Less than 10 minutes until kick-off.

Tottenham Hotspur

Antonio Conte speaking to BT Sport: "In England there are many derby games. There are seven teams in London. It is important for everyone but it has to become important for the future - for the table - not just for rivalry. It is important for both teams because we are both fighting for something important in the future."

More to follow on Tottenham injuries.

Dion Dublin
Former England striker on BBC Football Focus

The pressure before a derby is incredible. The preparation has changed. Everything around you has changed - the interviews you have to do, the training, staff and the fans are buzzing. The game stays the same but the pressure before, I used to love it.

Alan Shearer
Former England striker on BBC Radio 5 Live

It's very difficult to have a favourite in this fixture. One thing that normally happens is that Harry Kane scores. You just have those teams. He will relish this game, he will look forward to it.

They are great games for players, as well as fans. Fans get all excited about the build up to the game and all the talk in the days leading up to it.

For the players, this is a brilliant fixture. You can get away with a bit more, the referees seem a little bit more lenient.

I'm really looking forward to it. I think there will be plenty of goals in this game.

Tottenham haven't won at the Emirates in 12 years.

Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch speaking to BT Sport about Son Heung-Min's return to form: "He has been snatching at things but that hat-trick against Leicester was the Son of last season.

"I think he needs to have more respect on his name. He is one goal behind Teddy Sheringham - who was a legend for Tottenham. Son too will become a legend I think, if he is not already.

"The funny thing it Tottenham don't seem to have had a problem keeping him. I don't know why the top top clubs in Europe don't come in for him - he is that good."

Gabriel Jesus has had a pretty good impact since his move from Manchester City in the summer.

He is unbeaten in all 50 Premier League matches in which he has scored, winning 47 of those fixtures.

However, the Brazilian has netted only once in nine league appearances against Spurs.

Harry Kane is one short of becoming the first player to score 100 Premier League away goals.

Kane has 13 goals in 17 appearances against Arsenal in all competitions. No other player has more than 10 goals in north London derbies.

Matthew: 1st v 3rd should be interesting!

Arsenal are top of the table after an impressive start of six wins from seven games.

Pundits such as Match of the Day's Alan Shearer have singled out "game-changer" Gabriel Jesus as well as "a different mentality", "hunger" and "desire" across the whole team.

So, what is their good start down to and are they really a lot better this season? With the help of Nielsen Gracenote, BBC Sport looks into the numbers.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham's Son Heung-Min speaking to BT Sport before kick-off: "It has been tough to listen to this, that we have not won here in 12 years, even in the international week leading up to the game.

"I hope today we are going to be changing that history. I think everyone will be ready for a tough battle."

Tottenham have won only two of their past 37 league fixtures away to Arsenal (D14, L21), with those victories coming in 1993 and 2010.

Only one of the 23 most recent top-flight meetings has been won by the away side - Arsenal's 1-0 victory at White Hart Lane in March 2014.

Arsenal have scored in 23 consecutive home league games against Spurs since a 0-0 draw at Highbury in November 1998.

Jurgen Klopp would pick "exceptional" Trent Alexander-Arnold in any team after the full-back was overlooked by England manager Gareth Southgate.

The Liverpool defender, 23, did not figure against Italy and was dropped from the squad that drew with Germany.

Reds boss Klopp says there is "space for improvement" in Alexander-Arnold's defensive game, but his offensive ability is "so extreme".

"I'd decide obviously differently, but I'm not in charge," said Klopp.

"My point of view, it's an easy pick. Whichever team I would coach in the moment, I would sign him because he is exceptional."

It's not going too badly for Tottenham either.

They sit just one point below Arsenal in third having not lost a game in the Premier League this season.

In fact, they are unbeaten in 13 league fixtures and are one game shy of equalling their longest unbeaten runs set in 2015 and 2017-18.

Spurs are used to being in London this season too - this will be their seventh in England's capital.

But it's the big one. Can they knock Arsenal off their perch?
