Tottenham v Arsenal: match preview
Tottenham have the meanest defensive record in the division while Arsenal have seen the goals dry up – only the three teams in the relegation zone have scored fewer. José Mourinho has drilled down into a deep-sitting, counter-attacking style, particularly for the big games, and nobody could say with any certainty that he will try to make the running. Mikel Arteta, meanwhile, is mired on a dismal run and must dig in to get something. Nick Ames
