Arsenal and Tottenham renew their rivalry on Sunday when Ange Postecoglou's men welcome Mikel Arteta's title chasers.

Sunday's will be the 209th instalment of the north London Derby, with the Gunners leading the overall record by 86 to 67 with 55 draws.

Arsenal have beaten Spurs on their own turf just twice in the past decade, but won 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January last year and will be hoping to repeat the feat if they are to end a 20-year wait for a Premier League title.

Ahead of tomorrow, Mail Sport has dug into its archive for a walk down memory lane in north London.
