Like all rivals, player transfers between the two teams are rare, but the 2001 move of Saul Campbell from Tottenham Hotspur to Arsenal brought the conflict to a climax: Campbell was a Tottenham Academy graduate, the Tottenham captain at the time, and the second-youngest captain in England's history at the time.

However, he rejected Tottenham's contract extension, and in 01 he was free to join city rivals Arsenal, and the British media also rated this transfer as "the first defection in football history".

Since then, every time the north London top two meet in a match, the scene has been extremely hot, and it can be called one of the most watched derbies in England.

The feud between the two teams is not only reflected on the field, but the fans are even more hot, and sometimes even go into a big fight.

For Arsenal fans, the proudest record is that in addition to being unbeaten in the Premier League in the past season and unbeaten in 49 consecutive games, it is beating Tottenham Hotspur in the league for 21 consecutive years.

Just two days ago, Tottenham announced that they would be using Wembley Stadium as their home stadium next season due to the redevelopment of White Hart Lane, which means that there are only five games left at the old White Hart Lane stadium, and this afternoon's game will be its last north London derby, which is very significant.

Tottenham's midweek replay was a stunning win over Christian Eriksen, allowing them to bite the Blues' tail by four points and sit behind arch-rivals Arsenal on goal difference.

If we want to give the first Premier League trophy in our history to Old White Hart Lane, we need to extend our eight-game winning streak in the league until the end of the season before counting on the Blues to continue their stay.

However, Tottenham's 8-game winning streak opponent is Everton, who are temporarily ranked 7th, and they have 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses to play the top 6 teams this season, and the results can only be described as average.

The 1-1 draw in last year's first leg of the north London derby made the north London derby the most scored in Premier League history with 139 goals, a figure that has not been scored by any two teams in Premier League history.

In that game, Tottenham's leading goalscorer, Harry Kane, became Tottenham's top scorer in the north London derby, tied with Gareth Bale with five goals. Kevin Wimmel was the second player to score an own goal in the Premier League's north London derby, the first being former Tottenham striker Kroos Armstrong in March 2000.

The game also continued a curse feared by fans of both sides of the north London derby: the first goal was not won.

This means that in the league derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, if either side scores first, the first side will not be able to win, and this has been the case 22 times before this game.

That spell first came in April 2007 when Robbie Keane broke the deadlock for a home Spurs in the 30th minute, but Arsenal scored twice in the second half to give Tottenham a home defeat had it not been for Jermaine Jenas' late equaliser.

In the first leg of the league between Arsenal and Tottenham in the 2014-15 season, Nasser Shazli took the lead for the away Tottenham team, and Arsenal locked the score at 1-1 with Alexander Chamberlain's 74th-minute goal; Arsenal broke the deadlock in the 11th minute in the second leg, but Kane scored a brace in the second half to help Tottenham come back 2-1.

In the first leg of last season's north London derby, Kane scored for the away Tottenham Hotspur in the 32nd minute, but Arsenal equalised in the 77th minute through Kieran Gibbs; Aaron Ramsey opened the scoring for Arsenal in the second leg, but Tottenham scored twice in the space of two minutes in the second half to put the lead on the scoreline, and if Alex Sanchez had not equalised again in the 76th minute, Arsenal would have lost on the road.

After the first leg of the season, this curse of "first goal and no win" has lasted for 23 games, which is also the longest curse in the Premier League.

However, it should be noted that this curse only works in the league, and it is completely invalid in cup competitions, such as last season's League Cup, Arsenal scored first 2-1, and in the 2013-14 FA Cup, Arsenal also scored first and won 2-0 against Tottenham; In the second leg of the 2007/08 Carabao Cup semi-final, Jenas scored for Tottenham in the opening three minutes, and they also beat the Gunners 5-1 at home.

However, today's Arsenal is not the Arsenal in the first half of last year, in addition to the change of formation, there is also a newcomer introduced in the winter window, which has made the Gunners have a qualitative change.

With him, Arsenal has been killing God since February, seeing God killing God, seeing Buddha killing Buddha, whether facing a strong team or a weak team, they are invincible, invincible, and have won nine consecutive league wins, but also nine consecutive clean sheets against opponents, and conceded 25 goals in the top four second only to the 23 goals of the city's rival Tottenham.

Although Tottenham's South Korean striker Son Heung-min will have scored 20 goals in all competitions this season with just one goal – he would be able to break the record set by his Korean predecessor Cha Beom-geun in 1985-86 for a Korean player in a single season in the top flight.

Although Kane has scored in four consecutive north London derbys, he is one goal away from becoming the team's all-time top scorer in the north London derby.

Despite Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino's record against Arsenal since taking charge, he is the first Tottenham manager to remain unbeaten in his first five north London derbies in charge.

This is despite the Gunners having won just two league games at White Hart Lane in the last 13 years.

However, experts, journalists and commentators, including Tottenham fans, are not too optimistic about the possibility of the home team going unbeaten in this game, and some reporters say that Zhang Zhetian was sent off for the first time in the midweek replay, and this anger may be sprinkled on Tottenham.

This is Gunners manager Arsène Wenger's 50th north London derby, with a record of 22 wins, 20 draws and 7 defeats, the well-deserved king of the north London derby, although it has been two and a half seasons without winning against Tottenham, but has not tried to win six consecutive games without winning the sworn enemy, this derby, the Frenchman's goal is definitely three points.

Tottenham's injury situation this season is under control, with neither Eric Lamela nor teenager Harry Winks being reimbursed for the season causing much of a problem for the team.

Left-back Danny Rose is likely to remain sidelined for today's game, while midfielder Moussa Dembele is injured but should be available.

On the Arsenal side, the biggest good thing is that French central defender Laurent Koscielny has not been affected by the training injury, and can be put on the field, except for some old illnesses, the current Gunners are basically in the team, and the highlight of this game, in addition to the battle for the golden boot between the two major goalscorers Kane and Sanchez, is the battle between Zhang Zhetian and Hugo Lloris, who has conceded the least goals and clean sheets in the league.
