Two sides have a lot to prove, Arsenal are desperate to record a victory over one of the top sides in the league after a horrendous start, and Tottenham smell blood and a chance to claim clear superiority over their rivals for the first time in a while. The Gunners have improved recently but Spurs were excellent in their 4-0 demolition of Liverpool, and Arsene Wenger still has a lot of work to do with his defence.
