The 183rd north London derby takes place this weekend as Arsenal visit Tottenham. Spurs fans will be looking at these memorable derby matches for inspiration

Round two of the 2016-2017 north London derby takes place Sunday at White Hart Lane. Arsenal and Spurs drew 1-1 back in November. This time there is more on the line than bragging rights.

Tottenham trail league leaders Chelsea by four points and need a win to keep the club’s title push alive.

Arsenal sit outside the top four and need the victory to move up in the push for one of the Champions League spots.

The first north London derby took place in 1909 and finished 1-0 to Arsenal.

Since then the Gunners have had the upper hand with 78 victories to Spurs’ 55. There have also been 50 draws.

Yesterday we looked at highlights of the north London derby from Arsenal’s perspective. Today it’s time to do the same for Spurs. Here’s a look at five of Tottenham’s top north London derby matches of the Premier League era:
