The north London derby sees Tottenham and Arsenal meet at Wembley. Arsenal won the reverse fixture 2-0 back in November with Alexis Sanchez scoring the second goal but today they face their fierce rivals with a new-look attack full of former Borussia Dortmund pace and guile in the shape of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Spurs come into this match fifth in the Premier League, four points clear of the sixth-placed Gunners and clearly the significance of this tie runs beyond an old rivalry. Both clubs are desperate to finish in the top four and the loser of this one will take a major blow in that quest.

12' - Jack Wilshere produces a stunning through ball to put Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in on goal... but the linesman's flag goes up to halt Arsenal's joy. 

That was a really, really tight call.

22' - It's been a really even encounter so far in north London. The best chance of the match fell the way of the hosts, when Shkodran Mustafi almost put through his own net, but Arsenal have looked dangerous in attack too.
