Two clubs in the top half of the Premier League table will do battle today in a league match between Arsenal and Tottenham. The North London derby scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET will be held at Emirates Stadium in London and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on NBC Sports.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino had this to offer ahead of today's league encounter (via the Dail Mail): "I have full respect for him [Arsene Wenger]. He is a great manager. An 18-year stay in charge is not easy. Tottenham is a big job and it's a dream to stay here like Arsene at Arsenal. I need to show my skill, work hard and get results."
"You need to be aggressive and be focused," he added when asked about his tactical approach to today's derby. "I know the history. But it is also important to write history, starting now."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Arsenal's Danny Welbeck has proven to be effective since joining the club from Manchester United in the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old has one goal and an assist in just two appearances.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Szczesny; Gibbs, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Chambers; Arteta, Ramsey; Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez; Welbeck
Tottenham's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Rose, Chiriches, Kaboul, Dier; Dembele, Capoue; Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela; Adebayor
