Unai Emery and Mauricio Pochettino will go head-to-head on Sunday

The Premier League clash on Sunday takes place at the Emirates with the Gunners having a slightly better start from their first three games.

Unai Emery’s side have taken six points while Mauricio Pochettino’s team have four points from a possible nine.

In last season’s league match at the Emirates, Arsenal came back from 2-1 down to win 4-2 in an entertaining match that saw six goals and a red card.

Just 17 days later, though, in an EFL Cup clash at the same stadium ended in a 2-0 win for Tottenham.

The Emirates has not been a happy hunting ground for Spurs over recent campaigns as they are without a league win there since November 2010.

Recent history also suggests that the winner is likely to be the home side with only two of the last 10 matches being won by the visitors. Both also occurred during cup clashes rather than Premier League games.
