Fresh from putting pen to paper on a bumper new contract, Bukayo Saka gears up for North London derby day once again, as the winger's Arsenal side take on Tottenham Hotspur in Sunday's Premier League main event.
The 24-year-old has recently taken to a number 10 role to great effect, although his opening header against Wolverhampton Wanderers proved trivial in midweek, when Mikel Arteta's men inexplicably let a 2-0 lead slip in a 2-2 draw at Molineux.
Saka was unable to see out that fixture due to a knock, but the attacker completed his post-match media duties, and there was no mention of an issue from Arteta after the game, so expect the Hale End graduate to emerge from the tunnel this weekend.
Martin Odegaard's possible return from a knee injury could see Saka revert to right-wing duties at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the England international only boasts a fairly modest record against Arsenal's most bitter adversaries.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Saka has performed against Tottenham in the past, including results, goals and assists.

Still in the embryonic stages of his Arsenal career - even though he is now one of the longest-serving players in Mikel Arteta's squad - Bukayo Saka made his 11th appearance against Tottenham Hotspur in November 2025, and those fixtures have produced generally pleasing results.
Indeed, Saka has been on the winning side in seven of his first 11 matches against Tottenham, all of which have come in the Premier League, while also suffering three defeats and being involved in one stalemate.
That solitary draw came at the Emirates Stadium in the 2023-24 campaign, where Saka dispatched a penalty following a Cristian Romero handball, but Son Heung-min's double stole a point for the Lilywhites in a 2-2 thriller.
Later that season, Saka repeated his goalscoring trick against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Arsenal's second in an enthralling 3-2 success, cutting inside Ben Davies and coolly slotting home.
Five months later in September 2024, it was Saka's corner that was nodded in by Gabriel Magalhaes for Arsenal's solitary goal, as the Gunners won three straight away games against Tottenham for the first time since 1988.
During Arsenal's 2-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January 2023, which memorably descended into chaos at full time, Saka also had a hand in Arsenal's first goal, as his cross was diverted into the Spurs net by Hugo Lloris.
The winger failed to directly contribute to a goal in five of his first six appearances against Tottenham, though, the one outlier being Arsenal's 3-1 win at the Emirates in September 2021, where he set up Emile Smith Rowe before bagging one of his own.
In total, Saka has three goals and three assists under his belt from his 11 Premier League clashes against the Lilywhites, and since being booked on his North London derby debut, he has not picked up a single yellow or red card in this fiery fixture.
