Summary

Ian Stone is joined by The Athletic's James McNicholas and Art De Roche to preview the North London Derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and reflect on the newly unveiled design for The Emirates Stadium.

They dicuss how this might be the best chance in a long time to win away at Tottenham, having not done so since March 2014, and look at some of the potential match ups on the pitch including Saliba and Gabriel against Kane, and Nketiah up against Romero and Dier.

They also look ahead to Arsenal's other huge fixture this weekend with the women's team facing Chelsea at the Emirates in a top of the table clash on Sunday. Plus the latest on the January transfer window with Arsenal hoping to reinforce the squad in the coming weeks.

Produced by Jesse Howard.
