Tottenham Hotspur boss Nuno Espirito Santo gears up for his first North London derby in charge of the Lilywhites with Sunday's trip to the Emirates Stadium to take on Arsenal.
The Lilywhites' most recent encounter with another side from the capital saw them suffer a humbling 3-0 loss to Chelsea last weekend, as Thiago Silva, N'Golo Kante and Antonio Rudiger all netted at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Santo's side enter the derby on the back of a dramatic EFL Cup victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers, as the Spurs boss witnessed his side knock out his old club on penalties following a 2-2 draw.
