Game Preview
Both Arsenal and Tottenham are vying for a spot in the 2020-21 UEFA Europa League, and this game seems like a key fixture for both clubs considering how tight things are in the standings. Spurs are coming off a draw against Bournemouth and sit in 10th place, just one behind a Gunners squad that arrive into this game riding a four-game undefeated streak (W3, D1). Both clubs sit no more than three points away from seventh place, but their fate will also depend on what happens with Wolverhampton, who play earlier against Everton on Sunday. These two London-based clubs have underachieved massively in 2019-20, but winning against their heated rivals could sweeten things up in a season where neither club reached the pre-season goals they had in mind.

Top Picks
Harry Kane, Tottenham: The star striker has shown a bit of rust after a lengthy layoff, but there's no question he knows what it means to score against the Gunners. The England international has found the back of the net in four straight EPL matches against Arsenal, though he netted a penalty in the last three.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal: The Gabon international once again sits near the top of the goal-scoring standings in the Premier League with 20, just two behind Jamie Vardy for the top spot. He scored in his previous match against Tottenham and has also scored Arsenal's first goal in two of the team's last three matches.
