Sutton's predictions: Arsenal v Tottenhampublished at 11:12 GMT
11:12 GMT
Tottenham have got the best away record in the Premier League, with four wins and one draw so far, but this is their biggest test yet.
While Spurs have picked up some good results, I have still been disappointed with their frontline, and their attacking players have not really connected.
That is going to be the issue for them at Emirates Stadium, and the big difference with Arsenal is that you always feel like they are going to score. They are going to give a few teams a walloping, and Spurs could be one of them.
I started off thinking that this game was going to be reasonably close but, the more I think about it, the more I feel like Arsenal will win comfortably.
The Gunners have some issues too, with Gabriel out injured. He has been such a colossal player for them but Cristhian Mosquera can come into their defence, and I don't see it affecting them too much.
Arsenal v Tottenham: Key stats and talking pointspublished at 13:00 GMT 22 November

Arsenal begin a testing run of fixtures by hosting arch rivals Tottenham, who are unbeaten away from home in the league. BBC Sport examines some of the key themes before Sunday's 198th north London derby.
The Gunners' 10-match winning streak ended with a 2-2 draw at Sunderland but they are still in a commanding position – top of the Premier League and boasting a perfect record in the Champions League.
But this is the start of a tough week for Mikel Arteta's side, with the derby followed by Wednesday's home game against Bayern Munich – arguably Europe's most in-form team – before another match versus London opposition, away to Chelsea.
They will have to negotiate this period without key centre-back Gabriel, who faces a spell on the sidelines after being injured playing for Brazil against Senegal at Emirates Stadium last weekend.
Arsenal have previously suffered when the first-choice partnership of Gabriel and William Saliba has been disrupted, but they invested in quality cover this summer. Cristhian Mosquera, Spain Under-21s captain, arrived from Valencia, while Ecuador international Piero Hincapie joined on loan from Bayer Leverkusen.
Even so, Gabriel's absence is significant. Arsenal have won 64% of the Premier League games he has played in since arriving five years ago, compared to 40% without him.
He is also a potent set-piece threat, scoring 11 goals in the past two years – including the only goal in last season's win at Spurs.
Frank's first north London derby
The injury-time equaliser Tottenham conceded in the 2-2 draw with Manchester United means they remain winless at home in the league since the opening weekend.
Away from north London, it is a different story. Spurs are the only Premier League side yet to lose on the road this season.
Nonetheless, new head coach Thomas Frank has struggled to win over supporters with his style of play. His team have yet to click in attack, averaging fewer than 10 shots per match, the third-lowest figure in the top flight.
Tottenham were booed off in their last London derby under Frank, a 1-0 defeat by Chelsea earlier this month. They posted an expected goals total of just 0.1 in that defeat – the lowest by any team in a Premier League game this season.
Victory in Frank's first north London derby would be a huge statement, but history offers little encouragement. Spurs have won just one of their past 32 league visits to Arsenal.
Financial Fair Play rules in Premier League to change next seasonpublished at 18:10 GMT 21 November

The Premier League will from next season move to a new system of Financial Fair Play (FFP) based on squad costs.
The clubs met in London on Friday to vote on three possible methods of replacing Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR).
Squad Cost Ratio (SCR) got 14 votes in favour and six against, which is the minimum number that is required to exact a rule change.
Overall squad costs from next season will have to be limited to 85% of a club's revenue, although teams competing in Europe will have to adhere to Uefa's maximum of 70%.
Squad costs comprise player and manager wages, transfer fees and agents' fees.
Rules around sustainability, which set out a club's financial spending plans over the medium and long term, were passed unanimously.
Frank on returning players, embracing 'chaos' and being 'happy' at Spurspublished at 15:48 GMT 21 November

Nicola Pearson BBC Sport journalist
Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium (kick-off 16:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Frank confirmed that Lucas Bergvall, Archie Gray, Mohammed Kudus, Randal Kolo Muani and Pape Matar Sarr are all available for the weekend so he will now "need to make difficult decisions". However, Dominic Solanke "is not ready yet" and they want to be "as sure as we can be that there is no set-back going forward", so there was no timeframe on his return.
On managing his first north London derby in the Premier League: "When you are in it, you sense it and feel this is important. You feel from the fans, you feel from the staff members, the players, the people that's been working here for years, this is the big one. I always say the next game is the most important game, but I'm very, very aware there is two games a year that are even more important - this is the first of them and we are ready."
Asked about the chaos that can come with these matches, he responded: "The interesting thing is that probably both Mikel [Arteta] and I would like a little bit more controlled game, but it will probably end up [an] absolutely madhouse. Very, very enjoyable to watch for the outside people or fans. A game that can go anywhere. Everything can happen in that game."
He added: "Definitely embrace controlled chaos or chaos we like to create, because I think chaos is also good. You can also be too structured, too fixed, we need a bit of chaos. Chaos is transitions. Chaos is high pressure. Chaos is set pieces."
Frank joked that Tottenham's set-piece coach Andreas Georgson and the Gunners' set-piece coach Nicolas Jover are two of then best in the league because they both worked with him at Brentford, but on the challenge of this against Arsenal he said: "There's no doubt one of the battles we need to win in this game to win the game is set-piece battle. So can we can win that battle? Then we are halfway there because they are strong, we are strong and that will be a battle in itself."
The Spurs boss said while it was a "special day" meeting with Manchester United and Chelsea - which he revealed in his new book - that is now "history" and he is "here now, another massive club and I'm very happy here".
A pivotal moment for the Premier Leaguepublished at 17:11 GMT 20 November

One of potentially the biggest moments in English football is coming on Friday, but precious few people understand how important it could be or even know about it.
The Premier League is considering 'anchoring' wages, which would cap the amount any club could spend on their squad at five times the smallest central Premier League broadcasting and prize money payout.
It is a complex argument. The league and some clubs are considering it because they want to ensure wage inflation does not continue to rise endangering their long-term financial security. From the other side - the players and their union, the PFA - this unnaturally limits the amount they can earn in what has until now been a free and open market.
Any changes to that position foisted upon the players without their prior consultation and agreement will not go down well. Remember, the players are the people that the paying public, the TV companies and the advertisers want to see, not a bunch of chairmen, executives and directors arguing over accounts, dividends and profit margins.
The game has increased the number of games played per season without consulting those who are physically doing it. No studies on how that will affect their health in the short and long term were considered, and so the PFA in England looks like it is finally ready to take a strong stand for its members.
Strike ballots are not unknown, I should know, as chairman of the PFA my name was on the bottom of every ballot paper when we last considered strike action over changes in working conditions. The modern owners may have forgotten, but we had 99% backing from our members.
Owners may think of footballers as ultra wealthy, mercenary, thickos who can easily be controlled - well they thought that last time and they lost.
It is time for serious and meaningful negotiation between equals and not a master and serf attitude from one side towards the other.
On this day: Spurs break Arsenal hoodoopublished at 11:03 GMT 20 November

After 17 winless years on Arsenal soil, 20 November 2010 was a wonderful day for Tottenham fans.
It had not always seemed that way.
Two goals down at half-time at Emirates Stadium, it appeared their agonies at their local rivals were firmly set to continue - and that Arsenal would surge to the top of the Premier League.
But everything was set to change.
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp threw on Jermain Defoe for Aaron Lennon and, shortly afterwards, the England striker was involved as Gareth Bale lethally reduced the arrears to offer a semblance of hope.
Then, after Cesc Fabregas handled Rafael van der Vaart's free-kick in the penalty area, the Dutch forward stepped up to calmly level the match.
With just five minutes remaining, it was a goal from an unlikely source as centre-back Younes Kaboul glanced Van der Vaart's free-kick past a despairing Lukasz Fabianski and sent the Spurs fans wild.
The match was also noteworthy for the refusal of Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri to shake hands with compatriot and former team-mate William Gallas - a sour spot that only lent extra edge to this needling rivalry.
How Tottenham would enjoy a similar outcome when they travel across north London on Sunday to do battle once again with their fiercest rivals.

'Frustrating' but 'works hard' - should Spurs 'cash in' on Johnson?published at 17:58 GMT 19 November

We asked for your views on Tottenham forward Brennan Johnson struggling to establish himself under new head coach Thomas Frank, despite being a regular starter under former boss Ange Postecoglou.
Tony: Johnson is such a frustrating player to watch. He can be quite lazy and disinterested at times, making half-hearted tackles - then all of a sudden he can light up the stadium with an exciting run. The problem is that this season the exciting bits have been few and far between.
Gary: He is not good enough. He barely beats his man and his crosses for a so-called winger are average. Spurs should cash in on him next summer.
Tom: I would be willing to see Johnson develop into a second striker. He has got a brilliant poacher's instinct and he knows how to arrive in the box at the right time. He knows where the goal is and he could really shine in that role. I really like him and I want him to succeed at Spurs. He always works hard and has never left the field without looking like he has given his all.
Juel: I believe Johnson can make it at Spurs if we only sign one winger or no wingers in January. He might not be a starter but he will be a crucial squad player.
Will Wales performance kick-start Johnson's season?published at 14:24 GMT 19 November

It felt like Brennan Johnson had something to prove against North Macedonia on Tuesday night.
The 24-year-old had been left out of Wales' starting line-up in the World Cup qualifier against lowly Lichtenstein at the weekend, and was already struggling to establish himself as a permanent fixture under Thomas Frank this season.
It is quite the contrast to just six months ago - Johnson scoring the winner in the Europa League final to secure Spurs their first European trophy in 41 years.
Despite having notched four goals in all competitions so far this campaign, his strike against Copenhagen in the Champions League just before the international break was his first since finding the net against Doncaster in the Carabao Cup in September.
Last term, Johnson started 24 Premier League matches of the 35 he played, but this season he has started less than half of the 11.
The versatile forward, who can play across the attack, is now competing with summer arrivals Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons, among others, as new boss Frank searches for his preferred combination.
However, Johnson seems to have been missing the confidence and flair he showed under Ange Postecoglou, and it has been a similar situation with his national team.
Tottenham reporter for The Athletic Jack Pitt-Brooke recently told BBC Sport Wales: "He doesn't really do a lot apart from scoring goals.
"There are obviously worse things to be than a guy who's just known for scoring goals, but I think people would probably have expected him to have done more."
However, in a crucial final World Cup qualifier for Wales at the Cardiff City stadium on Tuesday evening, Johnson showed why he can be more than just a goalscorer.
Yes, he did score an impressive curling effort and provide an assist, but it is what he did around that that also caught the eye.
Johnson recorded far more dribbles than any of his team-mates, completing five out of seven. Indeed, no other Wales player managed more than one successful dribble in the game.
He was willing to compete for the ball, racking up 12 duels in total - the most of anyone in red - and winning the second-most of those with six. He also won possession more times for Wales than any other player.
Johnson needs to demonstrate he can provide as much in build-up as he does in the penalty area given Frank's apparent preference for hardworking forwards.
This was precisely the kind of performance that he will need to bring back to north London. Starting against Arsenal on Sunday.
How do you feel about Johnson's season so far?
Is this the performance that can kick-start his campaign for Spurs?
Which player is flying? And what should fans be thinking about?published at 11:22 GMT 19 November

Which player is flying?: Micky van de Ven is having a superb season. He continues to excel at centre-back and has improved his overall game by increasing his attacking threat, with some significant goal contributions so far.
Which player is floundering? Brennan Johnson is struggling to make an impact and it is unclear how he fits into this Thomas Frank side, if at all. When Johnson does make an appearance, despite a few goals, he often looks lost and lacks the confidence to take players on.
Tactically I think we... need to focus on creating and finishing attacks by playing through the opposition, not just over or around them. Long throws and set-pieces are a welcome addition to offer more attacking options, but they should not be the staple.
I want my manager to... give Dane Scarlett a proper opportunity in the league while we wait for others to be fit. Our academy product deserves a chance to prove he can hold his own with the grown-ups.
Our fans seem obsessed with... the negatives surrounding Joao Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentacur's pivot pairing, with many fans frustrated by the duo's difficulties in progressing the ball when they play together.
But they should be thinking about... the positives these two players offer, which should not be overlooked, with Palhinha in particular demonstrating some impressive statistics. We should focus on their strengths and how their team-mates can make better use of the solid foundation they offer.
My expectations for the season were... hoping for the top 10 but now I'm optimistic about a top-six finish. There is so much potential in this team and, with time - and players returning from injury - I believe Frank can get the best out of them.
Score out of 10 for season so far: 7/10.
One sentence on how you're feeling right now: Mindful of the work still left to do, but positive about the improvements Frank has already made in a short space of time.
