Tottenham vs Arsenal: It's a big game for Theo Walcott, whilst Heung-Min Son is one to watch

It's a big game for…

THEO WALCOTT: Should Walcott play, he'll be desperate to impress. Arsene Wenger has been giving him chances in his favoured position as a central striker, but has so far failed to convince in the role this season. Should he get a goal, it would provide a welcome boost to his confidence and further infuriate the Tottenham supporters he so enjoys winding up.

Best stat…

1-4: The scoreline last time Arsenal visited White Hart Lane in the League Cup. That meeting came back in 2010 and saw Samir Nasri score two goals from the penalty spot for the Gunners.

Remember when…

These sides met at the semi-final stage of the competition in 2008? After a 1-1 draw at Arsenal, Spurs annihilated the Gunners in the second leg with a 5-1 win.

Player to watch…

HEUNG-MIN SON: Three goals in his last two games should make the South Korean striker a certainty to start. All of the £22m summer signing's goals have come at White Hart Lane, helping endear him to Spurs supporters. Score against Arsenal, and that bond will only grow stronger.
