Tottenham vs Arsenal LIVE! Premier League match stream, latest score and goal updates today
Spurs today host their fierce rivals in the first north London derby of the Premier League season. Undoubtedly one of the most iconic games English football has to offer, it is a huge occasion for both Ange Postecoglou and Mikel Arteta. The Spurs boss has endured a mixed start to his second season and a statement victory this afternoon would go some way to prove progress, having thrown the game away at Newcastle before the international break.
The Gunners, meanwhile, have already dropped points after a draw with Brighton last time out and will have seen Manchester City navigate a tricky Brentford test with ease on Saturday. While there is clearly still so much football to play, the standards set by the champions will surely not allow for many more slip-ups.
With Declan Rice suspended and captain Martin Odegaard expected to be out through injury, it is a difficult trip for Arsenal despite their recent dominance in this fixture. Follow all the action LIVE with Standard Sport’s dedicated match blog! Dan Kilpatrick and Simon Collings will be providing expert analysis from the ground!

0-0. A bitty but entertaining first half, in which both sides struggled for consistent control and clear-cut chances. Vicario‘s smart save from Havertz was the closest either came, but Raya was twice been called into action to turn away Kulusevski shots. Referee Jarred Gillett is a little card-happy, so don’t rule out a second-half sending off.

Both teams waste chances as tempers flare….

Spurs have lost a bit of control in the last ten minutes, amid a succession of stoppages, and it’s Arsenal looking the more threatening as half-time approaches. It’s a compelling game, if a little stop-start.
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

37 mins: Vicario booked for his arguments with Timber after the foul.

There’s been a flurry of cards in the past 15 minutes, get the feeling someone could be getting a red today. All threatening to boil over.

35 mins: It’s all kicking off here!
Timber with a foul on Porro and it sparks a clash between the two sets of players.
Home fans want the Dutchman sent off but VAR will not be taking it up to a red.

Spurs have been successful at pressing Arsenal’s back four into mistakes but on both occasions they have won the ball high up, they’ve dithered and allowed the visitors to regroup. Udogie’s booking for a late tackle on Saka leaves him with a tough hour ahead against the England winger, although to be fair he was in a similar position at the Emirates last season and barely put a foot wrong.
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

27 mins: Maddison digs out a cross to Solanke at the back post and the striker, under pressure from Gabriel, manages to connect.
His looping header is collected by Raya, who loos fairly relieved.

Spurs are still seeing more of the ball but Martinelli is starting to give Porro a hard time down Arsenal’s left. The Brazilian has twice got beyond the full-back, forcing Vicario into saves. More encouragingly for Spurs, Son’s looking sharp against White on the other flank.
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal
14:23 , Jonathan Gorrie
21 mins: The ball is briefly over the line after Solanke knocks into Raya, forcing him to spill a catch.
The goalkeeper, however, wins the foul.
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

18 mins: Martinelli through on goal but Vicario saves! Should probably have done better, albeit Porro was covering.
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

17 mins: Big save for Spurs!
Martinelli skins Porro and gets a cross in, with Havertz heading down into the corner but Vicario meets it.
The ball hits Romero on the arm after and the Gunners want a penalty but nothing given.

Arteta with a laugh there as Saliba is booked for, what PGMOL would describe as, “delaying the restart of the game”. Arsenal know all about that from Rice two weeks ago.
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

15 mins: Saliba booked for – you guessed it – delaying the restart…
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal

14 mins: A HUGE let off for Ben White!
His poor pass across the box finds only Solanke but the striker takes too many touches and Arsenal clear lines!

Spurs have made a bright start, playing some slick football in the final third. Kulusevski in particular looks in the mood and has already had three efforts on goal. Spurs, though, have made a habit of starting well but failing to capitalise on their dominance…
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal
14:09 , Jonathan Gorrie
07 mins: Another big save from Raya, who denies Johnson!
The forward tried to flick on Kulusevski’s whipped ball but the Arsenal stopper meets it.

04 mins; BIG CHANCE!
Son cuts back for Kulusevski but Raya parries it away!

Looks like Arsenal are basically playing 4-4-2 out of possession, with both Partey and Jorginho in front of the defence.
Tottenham 0-0 Arsenal
14:05 , Jonathan Gorrie
02 mins: Spurs settling on the ball here. Given the absences in Arsenal ranks, that always left likely.

01 mins: Spurs deal with an early corner, which may settle some nerves given what happened last year!
KICK-OFF!

Away we go!
Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
13:48 , Jonathan Gorrie
Not exactly going out on a limb here but I suspect this will be a brilliant game for the neutral, as always. Without Sarr and Bissouma, Spurs XI is even more attack-minded than usual, while Rice (and Merino) feel like big misses for Arsenal off the ball. Strap in!

An absolutely huge game and Spurs have gone for it from the off.
Can they punish a weakened Arsenal squad?

“I am really happy where I am and I am really privileged to be in this position. I just want to be here.
“To win today. That is the only target. It has to be about performance and what we do daily and the outcome will be whatever it is in May.
“We know the standards and we know the level and we have to match it or be better.
“You need to stand up and individually have to have big performances and then collectively that will be the difference.”

That Arsenal bench is alarming short. Seven teenagers on it and a real lack of depth in midfield – Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri the only genuine options, there.
Big boost for Tottenham
12:58 , Jonathan Gorrie
On the flip side, having Van de Ven and Solanke available is a major boost for Spurs.
Big blow for Arsenal
12:57 , Jonathan Gorrie
No Odegaard of Calafiori today for the Gunners, who are forced to name a fairly youthful bench.
Confirmed Arsenal lineup

Arsenal XI: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Partey, Jorginho; Saka, Martinelli; Havertz, Trossard
Subs: Neto, Kiwior, Kacurri, Heavens, Lewis-Skelly, Sterling, Nwaneri, Jesus, Kabia
Confimed Tottenham lineup

Tottenham XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie; Bentancur, Maddison, Kulusevski; Johnson, Solanke, Son
Subs: Forster, Spence, Davies, Dragusin, Sarr, Bergvall, Odobert, Werner
Derby momentum builds for Tottenham as Arsenal target landmark result of Mikel Arteta era
12:25 , Jonathan Gorrie
Before a ball has even been kicked, the momentum going into Sunday’s north London derby feels firmly in Tottenham’s favour.
Mikel Arteta may have given Arsenal a boost on Thursday morning by agreeing terms on a new contract, but on the pitch the Gunners have plenty of problems as they look to make it three wins in a row at the home of their fierce rivals.
Why are Arsenal not wearing red in north London derby? Away kit decision explained

Arsenal travel to bitter rivals Tottenham later today.
The Gunners begin a daunting run of fixtures with the first north London derby of the season as Mikel Arteta’s side face an early test of credentials.
Arteta saw his team held to a 1-1 draw with Brighton before the international break, a game to have robbed them of Declan Rice for the Spurs trip due to a controversial red card.
Mikel Arteta not afraid to hand Ethan Nwaneri first Arsenal start at Tottenham
11:44 , Jonathan Gorrie
Mikel Arteta would not fear handing Ethan Nwaneri his first start for Arsenal in Sunday’s north London derby.
Arsenal are facing a midfield crisis ahead of their trip to Tottenham this weekend, with Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino out due to injury.
Declan Rice is also suspended, which is forcing Arteta into a rethink and Nwaneri is one of the possible solutions.
The 17-year-old has been tipped for big things at Arsenal, but he is yet to start a senior game for them.
Ange Postecoglou issues warning to Tottenham squad ahead of Arsenal visit
11:41 , Jonathan Gorrie
Ange Postecoglou has warned his Tottenham players that Arsenal will “punish” them if they take their foot off the gas because of the Gunners’ weakened line-up for the North London Derby.
Mikel Arteta’s side will be without Declan Rice and new signing Mikel Merino at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. Rice is serving a suspension for his controversial red card against Brighton, while Merino suffered a freak injury in Arsenal training.

Arsenal also have concerns of their own, with Declan Rice suspended. Martin Odegaard picked up a knock while away on international duty, although Arteta has hinted the Gunners captain could be involved for the derby.
Gabriel Jesus is expected to be back fit. The Brazilian missed the past two Arsenal games due to a groin injury.
But Jesus is back in training and hoping to be in the squad for Sunday’s trip to Spurs.
“Gabi was out there [training],” Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said on Friday afternoon.

Tottenham are set to have Micky van de Ven and Dominic Solanke fit after they missed the defeat at Newcastle before the international break. A late call will be made on Yves Bissouma after he sustained an issue while away with Mali on national team duty.
“Micky’s good, he’s trained all the way through the international break so he’s ready to go,” Ange Postecoglou said. “Dom’s improved as well and trained the back half of this week. We still have two days to go with those guys so hopefully they get through training OK and are available.”
On Bissouma, Postecoglou revealed: “He’s got a bit of an issue, but we’ll have a look at him over the next couple of days and see how it settles.”
