A north London derby clearly needs little in the way of added spice but Arsenal’s trip to Tottenham later this evening is dripping with narrative.
Not only are the two rivals battling it out for a place in the Premier League’s top four, the original meeting back in January was postponed at Arsenal’s request, infuriating Spurs.
Antonio Conte’s side have proven they can get results in big one-off games, while Mikel Arteta’s young team - four points clear in the race for Champions League qualification - are going some way into learning how to win ugly.
Eric Dier himself has talked up the atmosphere in front of which this game will be played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a cauldron of noise expected.
Here’s how to keep across what promises to be a thrilling derby contest.
