Tottenham will go into next week's North London Derby against Arsenal confident of earning a first win at the Emirates Stadium since 2010.
Ange Postecoglou's men continued their fine start to the 2023/24 season last weekend with a dramatic 2-1 win over Sheffield United. Injury-time goals from Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski meant Spurs stretched their winning streak to four games, leaving them only two points behind Manchester City.
Sunday's game against Arsenal will provide another nail-biting occasion for Spurs. And despite the Gunners being level on points with Tottenham, Mikel Arteta's men have been far from their best this season.

Fortunately for Postecoglou, he will have a near fully-fit squad for the short trip to the Emirates. After the United clash there are no immediate worries for Spurs going into a big week.
Giovani Lo Celso missed the game on Saturday having been ruled out before by Postecoglou, but everyone else that has played a part this season was in contention. "[Giovani Lo Celso] is not available for this weekend. He trained with us yesterday but we're going to give it another week," he said on Friday.
At the same time there was also a boost with new signing Alejo Veliz made available for the first time since moving to the club over the summer. «Alejo is finally on the pitch, which is great,» said Postecoglou.
