Arsenal’s rivalry with Tottenham Hotspur is one of the most heated in the Premier League, and the North London Derby consistently produces exciting clashes.
The battle for bragging rights in North London often sees the home side triumph, with Spurs last winning at the Emirates Stadium in 2010, but Arsenal have now won the last two clashes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Spurs built their new home after a long spell at White Hart Lane. Despite being the spiritual home of Tottenham, Arsenal did win two titles at the old ground, with the First Division in 1971, and the Invincibles triumphing in 2004.
Spurs moved to their new ground after a long process which saw them leave White Hart Lane in 2017, and play at Wembley Stadium temporarily, but Arsenal have fond memories at both grounds in the North London Derby.
