Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend

North London bragging rights are on the line this Saturday and so is the ever-delicate question of the power balance between Arsenal and Spurs. Two very different sides look evenly matched to the naked eye and both will know the added significance of a win at the Emirates. Arsenal’s only slip-up this season was the slightly harsh defeat in their toughest assignment, at Old Trafford; when Spurs faced their most exacting test, away at Chelsea, they were very fortunate to draw in stormy circumstances. So both Mikel Arteta and Antonio Conte could do with taking a big early scalp if early pretensions to a title chase, or at least the second-place spot that could well be up for grabs, are to become a little more convincing. They will be keenly aware that there is no better occasion on which to stake the claim. Nick Ames

Erling Haaland is presumably looking forward to his first Manchester derby but, after seeing the Norwegian score 14 goals in 10 games for City this season, United’s defence will surely view the 22-year-old with considerable trepidation. Eleven of Haaland’s goals have arrived in seven Premier League matches and, after registering two hat-tricks in his most recent fixtures at the Etihad, he now hopes Erik ten Hag’s backline will allow him to become the first player to score three consecutive home Premier League hat-tricks. Raphaël Varane and Lisandro Martínez certainly seem set to have their work cut out in United’s central defence while Harry Maguire may not be completely heartbroken to miss out on a place on the bench after sustaining a muscle injury with England.
