Hello and welcome to the North London derby at White Hart Lane: Tottenham - who can go level on points with fourth-placed Manchester City - host second-placed Arsenal, who are still in with a shout at the title: LIVE from 7.45pm UK time!

Corluka finds space on the right again but this time the cross is overhit and out for a goal kick.

Spurs are in again from kick off but Crouch drags the shot wide! VdV made a super run to drag Djourou away and it opened up for Crouch!

1-1!!! VAN DER VAART! Wonderful finish, spanked low past Szczesny into the bottom right after a lovely ball from Corluka! What a start!!

Lovely passing counter from Arsenal that breaks down as Nasri plays in Cesc, the ball striking the Spaniard on the heel. Some great one-touch balls and angles there.

Modric is caught late and the ball spins a touch wide of Bale so no advantage and Atkinson blows up.

That was a cracking goal - and necessary too: Chelsea are 1-0 up against Birmingham too.

GOAL ARSENAL! Brilliant through ball to release Walcott, Fabregas with the pass, Walcott springs the offside run - it was a great run to stay onside - and he slots a cool finish past Gomes.

Good defending by Bale and then Huddlestone to clear their lines calmly with Song putting them under pressure.

Fabregas plays Walcott in but it's very tight and he can't get the shot away.

Still with Spurs as the loose ball drops to Modric, who shoots well wide.

Good ball in from Corluka but Crouch isn't even close and a stretching Bale can't reach it!

The first half is underway!

Tonight's referee is Referee: Martin Atkinson - public enemy number xxx at Old Trafford; this season he has sent off Jermain Defoe in a game Spurs won (2-1 v Aston Villa), and Wilshere, in a game Arsenal won against Birmingham. Both were for poor challenges.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp claimed that the Gunners' Premier League title challenge will be over if they lose at White Hart Lane. "Arsenal have to win all of their games now to win the title," Redknapp said. "They will be hoping to win all their games and hope Man United slip up. That's all they can do."

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes his side can still win the Premier League, saying they must fight to win their next six matches. There's a video of that on our site,

Who do you think will win this clash? Almost too close to call for the bookies - Tottenham are 7/4, Arsenal 6/4 and the draw 12/5.

Tottenham have kept just one clean sheet in their last 30 games against Arsenal in all competition; Spurs have conceded 99 goals in Premier League London derbies at White Hart Lane.

Some thought Fabregas wouldn't be fit to start this match - but he is, and it's Jack Wilshere who surprisingly makes way, he's on the bench. Sagna is back from injury, while Arshavin loses out to Walcott.

Spurs then go for two up top, almost a three with Van der Vaart expected to cut inside from the right. Ambitious, but this is a game they want and need to win to have a chance of Champions League football next season. Lennon is surprisingly benched - as is Sandro in my opinion, as I would favour him to do a job on Samir Nasri.
