Tottenham and Arsenal face off in a north London derby ‘friendly’ today ahead of the new Premier League season.
The north London rivals, along with Chelsea, have been involved in a round-robin Mind charity series in pre-season, with the three capital clubs looking to raise some money for a good cause and also shake out the cobwebs before another gruelling campaign.

As for Arsenal, Arteta is busy trying to add to his squad following a disappointing 2020/21 campaign, and will want a win at Spurs to boost morale for the challenges ahead.
