The North London rivalry between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur looks set for its feistiest season in years with both clubs starting the Premier League campaign in fine form.
Mikel Arteta's Gunners side will be hoping for another title challenge this term after impressing last year while Ange Postecoglou's new dawn at Spurs has hit the ground running. Whether both clubs manage to challenge the relentless Manchester City is another matter, but the stats experts at Opta have the two clubs right up there come the end of the season.
Meanwhile, it's another story for struggling Chelsea whose problems may take more than a season to iron out even for Mauricio Pochettino. Elsewhere in the capital, West Ham, Brentford and Crystal Palace have also enjoyed solid starts to the campaign. Here's how Opta predict the Premier League table will finish come the end of the season.
