Both sides come into the game on the back of league defeats, with Arsenal suffering at the hands of a rampant Liverpool side while Spurs were stunned at home by Newcastle United.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

1 minute

A lively start from the hosts! Aubameyang sends Kolasinac away down the left with a lovely flick, and the full back picks out Pepe in the middle. He finds space on his left foot and shoots, but his effort flies over the bar. It's taken just a minute for Sanchez to be caught out at right back.

Arsenal 0-0 Tottenham

5 minutes

It's been a predictably high intensity start from Arsenal. Tottenham are looking to manage the opening stages but they're being penned back into their own half, forced into some early defending. Kolasinac again finds his way past Sanchez, but the Spurs defender recovers. Arsenal get a corner, though, from which Maitland-Niles fires off a shot from the edge of the box. It's blocked well by Kane.

Lacazette latches onto a loose ball on the edge of the Tottenham box and gets a shot off. But he doesn't connect well, dragging it wide of the far post. Spurs look unconvincing defensively here.

GOAL! Arsenal 0-1 Tottenham (Eriksen)

11 minutes

It's been all Arsenal in the opening ten minutes, but they find themselves behind! Spurs break quickly and Son sets Lamela through on goal. His low shot is saved by Leno, but he parries the ball straight into the path of Eriksen, who has a tap in. Against the run of play, Tottenham lead.

Tottenham have been buoyed by that goal. They look a real threat when they come forward now. Arsenal's fragile defence has been exposed again.

Eriksen is up for this. He drives at the Arsenal back four, cuts inside and unleashes a powerful shot. It's straight at Leno, who makes a comfortable save.

18 minutes

Brilliant save from Leno! Spurs break quickly again, releasing Son who makes his way into the box. His curling shot looks set for the top corner, but Leno flies to his left, pushing it behind for a corner.

23 minutes

Arsenal are regaining some control of the game after that shaky spell following the goal. And they create their first chance since going behind. Aubameyang runs at Sanchez and sends a cross to the back post where Pepe is waiting. Rose makes a crucial block to deny the Frenchman.
