The Gunners will be without defensive leader Gabriel as Spurs come to town in the north London derby
Not thinking about City chasing, game by game - Arteta
Premier League leaders Arsenal host rivals Tottenham in a massive north London derby at the Emirates, with the change to go six points clear at the top after Manchester City’s defeat to Newcastle yesterday.
Arsenal have boasted the Premier League’s best defence this season but the unit that has conceded only five goals so far will be without key centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes for the foreseeable future, in what will be a challenge for Mikel Arteta’s side ahead of games against Spurs, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
Tottenham have been up and down under Thomas Frank but their best results have so far come on the road and Spurs will relish the opportunity to dent Arsenal’s title bid. This will also be the first meeting of the sides since Arsenal trumped Spurs in their pursuit for Eberechi Eze, who could play a role today.
Can Arsenal extend their advantage at the top of the Premier League or will Tottenham strike a blow in the title race? Follow updates from the Emirates below:

Premier League leaders Arsenal host Tottenham in a crucial north London derby as they bid to go six points clear at the top after Manchester City’s defeat to Newcastle last night.
Mikel Arteta’s men lost ground in the title race with a 2-2 draw to high-flying Sunderland in their last outing before the November internationals, and will be desperate to bounce back against fierce local rivals Tottenham.
Thomas Frank’s side are likewise in search of a return to form after a slide back to their old ways, with a woeful home record and increasingly leaky defence cause for concern.
