20'
Tottenham have a corner which Lo Celso whips into the box. Holding heads clear.
19'
Here is Son's spectacular goal in all its glory...
18'
Arsenal have settled a bit more now but this game is now playing right into Jose Mourinho's hands. Get an early lead then sit back and look to counter. It's been a brilliant start to this north London derby.
16'
Willian's cross from a set-piece on the left flank is excellently headed clear by Dier.
15'
That goal was truly sensational. Son's 13th goal of the season is one to remember. A fantastic hit! How will Arsenal respond? It began as a classic Spurs counter-attack with Kane combining with his teammate. Arsenal will be wary of the hosts' threat on the break when they push for an equaliser.
13'
WHAT A GOAL!! Son scores an absolute stunner! From around 30-yards out, the South Korea international picks Kane's pass up, cuts inside and whips the ball into the top corner... Leno had no chance! What a goal! Spurs lead!

On target1
11'
SHOT! Partey has a pop from range but his strike is poor. It flies well wide of Lloris' left post.
10'
A lazy pass from Dier to Lloris forces an Arsenal throw deep in Spurs' half. The Gunners are seeing plenty more of the ball now.
10'
Tierney launches his throw into the box which Aurier clears. It seemed a bit wasteful with no Arsenal player even close to meeting it.
8'
Aurier slides in on Tierney and Spurs have a goal-kick. Just moments ago Lacazette appeared to kick out at Hojbjerg but referee Atkinson is not too fussed by it.
6'
Kane fouls Lacazette and now Arsenal have a free-kick around 35-yards out. Willian and Saka are standing over it and the Brazil international curls it in, but Reguilon heads clear before Saka fires over the bar.
4'
Tottenham have started better here and have had almost all of the ball. Neither side are in a rhythm yet.
3'
Dier steps up... but he curls his free-kick well over the bar.
2'
OUCH! Xhaka wipes out Kane and Spurs have a free-kick around 25-yards out in a good position. Really, the Swiss should be booked for that but referee Martin Atkinson is keeping his cards in his pocket.

KICK-OFF! We are underway at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with 2,000 fans making their voices heard in the South Stand... here we go...
16:24
Jose Mourinho's Spurs have not suffered a defeat in the league since the season's opening weekend and have the opportunity to move 11 points clear of their north London rivals Arsenal when they meet this afternoon.
Arsenal, in contrast, have struggled for consistency and sit 15th in the table, while their tally of 13 points is their lowest after their opening 10 matches of any league campaign since the 1981-82 season.
Kick-off coming up shortly!
16:13
Tottenham find themselves to be unlikely title challengers in the Premier League, and plans are afoot to cement that status in January when the transfer window opens. In the latest Inside Football, Dean Jones reveals which defenders Tottenham are targeting, which big names could leave, and who might be getting a bumper new pay rise..
16:07
There is no sugarcoating the significance of this game for Mikel Arteta. Another loss for the Spaniard this afternoon against the club's fiercest rivals and his job will surely be on the line.
16:03
A reminder there will be 2,000 fans in attendance this afternoon.
15:52
Top-of-the-table Spurs could expose Arsenal in the most brutal way possible, with Jose Mourinho's men targeting title glory while the Gunners flounder. Tottenham have changed as a team and a club under the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager, while Mikel Arteta has been made to work with the same restrictions that saw Unai Emery fail so spectacularly. Check out Graham Ruthven's excellent piece below...

PAUL PARKER'S PREDICTION
It's a big game, but it's always a big game. In local derbies it's never wise to just go by the league position, but sometimes it does bear relevance - even in this weird season, where results are not always going as expected.
Arsenal, however, are on the crest of a disaster. Mikel Arteta was meant to be the greatest manager since Arsene Wenger, but since then their form has dropped off a cliff. They have been awful.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the captain in name, but he isn't playing like one. Since he has signed his new contract he has been so much less impressive in front of goal. They are now poor up front.
That is compounded by their weakness at the back, where they are too vulnerable. It has to be a home win.
Prediction: Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal
