There will be far more than pride at stake when Arsenal host Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.The North London derby is always one of the most highly anticipated fixtures of the Premier League calendar, but visiting Spurs (5-5-0) have built themselves up into a genuine threat to rivals Arsenal (7-2-1) over recent years, giving this weekends fixture some added spice.Just three points separate the two clubs in the table, with Arsene Wengers Gunners high on confidence following a 4-1 rout of Sunderland last weekend and a comeback 3-2 win against Ludogorets in the Champions League in midweek.For us it is a very important game because we are in a strong position in the league that we want to strengthen, Wenger said. Overall Tottenham (are in a good position) as well, so it is very tight at the top of the league.We are more focused that it is a home game, and whether it is Tottenham or somebody else, we want to win our home games because our position in the league is very important. We go into a period where we play big games and we want to win the big games.I feel that it is difficult to speculate on any weakness to Tottenham. I prefer to concentrate on us, to be strong and to turn up with a top-level performance.Mauricio Pochettinos Spurs may be nipping at the heels of their neighbours in the table, but the mood around the club is very different.Tottenham havent won a game since their spectacular 2-0 victory over title favourites Manchester City at the start of October. Theyve picked up three straight draws in the league, crashed out of the EPL Cup against Liverpool and accumulated just one point from two matches against an excellent Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League -- with the most recent meeting seeing the German club beat Spurs 1-0 at Wembley on Wednesday.Maybe we are not as confident as we were when we beat Manchester City 2-0 (on October 2), but football is about emotion, Pochettino said, putting a brave face on a difficult situation for his side. When you win, you are at the top of your emotion and mental level.It is a good test for us on Sunday to change the dynamic. It is a period where we have to learn to improve. We are not in a positive situation, in the last six games we struggled to win -- four draws, two defeats -- and we are conscious of that.Part of the reason for Tottenhams dip in form has been the absence of a number of regular first-team players due to injury.Centre-back Toby Alderweireld and attacking midfielder Eric Lamela are both unlikely to feature on Sunday, while dynamic central midfielder Mousa Dembele is also expected to be absent after picking up a niggle against Leverkusen.However, there could be a welcome return for striker Harry Kane after a close-to two month absence.The last few seasons he was a very important player for us, Pochettino said of his star striker. A player who is (a) top scorer in the Premier League, when fit, is important for any club. It will be very good news. He can help the team get a good result.Arsenal have midfielder Granit Xhaka available after suspension, but have doubts over the fitness of Santi Cazorla and Keirin Gibbs. Squad players Lucas Perez, Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck remain out.Pochettino has yet to lose a league game against Arsenal in four total meetings. No Spurs manager in the Premier League era has gone five unbeaten in North London derbies.
