Arteta's side are in EFL Cup action next, travelling to take on Brentford on Wednesday as they bid to progress through to the next round.

The final whistle blows and the spoils are shared as the North London derby ends 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal were pegged back twice, first going ahead through Romero's own goal from Saka's curling effort before Son coolly turned home from Maddison's cutback to level. The Gunners went in front again after the interval, Saka keeping his cool to score from the spot after Romero was penalised for a handball after White's close-range effort struck his outstretched arm. The hosts were denied victory, though, as Son slotted home from Maddison's neat assist with both sides unable to find a late winner.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
15:49
The ball sits up nicely for Havertz to lash towards Vicario's goal from outside the area, but he gets his effort horribly wrong and the ball flies high and wide of the target.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:58
The two sets of players head back to the changing rooms with the scoreline 1-1 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal went ahead in the 26th minute, Saka cutting in and shooting on his left foot before Romero's attempt to block inadvertently sent the ball flying into the back of his own net. It appeared the Gunners would take a lead into the break, but Spurs levelled with just three minutes of normal time left of the first half as Son coolly finished from Maddison's cutback.

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 38 Premier League games when they have scored the opening goal (won 34, drawn four) since a 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in January 2022.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:41
WHAT A SAVE!!! Raya preserves his side's lead with a quite brilliant stop. Son cuts the ball back for Johnson, and the former Forest man's first-time shot looks to be flying into the back of the net to level. However, Raya somehow leaps to his right and claws the ball away from danger.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:40
Space opens up for Odegaard to let fly from outside the box, but he cannot replicate his brilliant long-range strike against PSV in midweek as Vicario makes an easy save.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:39

14:38
Arsenal have been on top since the opening goal, and Arteta will be keen for his side to score a second to further tighten their grip on this game.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:35
BIG CHANCE! Jesus spurns a golden opportunity to put his team 2-0 up. After receiving the ball from Vicario in his own box, Maddison is caught in possession by Jesus. However, the Arsenal man cannot punish Maddison's error as he blazes over from a position where he really should have hit the target at least.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:33
Van de Ven makes an important intervention to head behind and deny Saka scoring his second at the back post.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:32

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:26
The Gunners have probably shaded the opening period of this game, which is yet to really get going.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:22
This is the first time that the North London derby has featured just one player aged 30+ across both starting line-ups in the Premier League since March 2016.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:21
Porro fires a dangerous delivery across the face of goal, but White is well-placed to make a vital intervention and prevent Son tapping in at the back post.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:18
Vicario makes another big stop as Nketiah latches onto Udogie's misplaced pass, beating away the striker's powerful effort from a tight angle.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:17
WHAT A SAVE! Saka's deep cross picks out Jesus at the back post, and the Brazil international fires towards goal first time. The effort is from a difficult angle but looks to be flying in, until Vicario manages to palm it wide.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:16
Tottenham have won just one of their last 30 Premier League away games against Arsenal (D11 L18), and are winless in 12 since a 3-2 victory in November 2010.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:14
The game is yet to get into a real rhythm with lots of scrappy fouls disrupting the flow. The referee has been a busy man so far.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:11
Arsenal have won four of their last five Premier League games against Tottenham (one loss), as many victories as they had in their previous 16 against them beforehand.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:10
Romero is perhaps fortunate to avoid a booking as he crunches through the back of Jesus in midfield. The referee Robert Jones opts to keep his cards in his pockets.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:07
The big challenges are flying in already, exactly what you would expect from such a heated derby. Which side will keep their heads the better?
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
14:06
NO GOAL! Tottenham have an early strike ruled out as Bissouma's shot is turned home by Son from close range, with the flag immediately going up for offside.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:58
Postecoglou goes with just the one alteration from the starting XI that came back in dramatic fashion to beat Nottingham Forest last time out as Johnson makes his full debut, with Solomon dropping to the bench. Ivan Perisic suffered a serious knee injury in training and looks like he will miss the rest of the season.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:53
Mikel Arteta makes two changes from the side that hammered PSV 4-0 in midweek as Vieira and Nketiah come in for Havertz and Leandro Trossard, the latter of whom misses out altogether after picking up a knock in training. Gabriel Martinelli is also absent as Raya retains his place between the sticks.

The Ange Postecoglou era at Spurs has had a brilliant opening, with the former Celtic boss taking four wins from his first five Premier League games in charge to put his new side second in the standings. This is their biggest test yet, though, so it will be interesting to see how Postecoglou's side fare.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur
13:33
These fierce rivals meet in the Premier League for the first time this season, the latest edition of a derby that seems to always produce thrilling encounters. The Gunners currently hold the bragging rights, finishing 24 points and six places above Spurs last term while winning both of the meetings between the sides, and they have enjoyed another strong start to this campaign, currently unbeaten and in the top four.
