The biggest North London derby for many a year takes place live on Sky Sports 1 this Saturday with Arsenal desperate to beat local rivals Tottenham.
The last-ever clash between the old foes at Highbury sees the UEFA Champions League hopefuls four points behind Spurs but with a game in hand in the battle for fourth spot.
With the FA Cup semi-finals affecting the fixture list, only four games take place at three o'clock on Saturday.
Bolton Wanderers look to recover some form against Charlton Athletic, and there are three crucial games for sides looking to beat the drop. West Brom are at Newcastle United, Birmingham City travel to Everton and Portsmouth entertain already-relegated Sunderland.
Arsenal v Tottenham,
Robert Pires has scored eight goals in his last 10 appearances against Spurs in all competitions. Spurs have not won on their last 12 Premiership visits to Highbury.
Bolton v Charlton
Bolton have won the last four meetings with Charlton. Darren Bent has scored in Charlton's last seven victories.
Everton v Birmingham
No Everton player has scored a goal in The Premiership after coming off the bench this season. Chris Sutton scored five goals in his first eight starts against Everton, but has failed to score in his last four.
Newcastle v West Brom
Newcastle have scored more than one goal in each of their last nine Premiership wins. The Baggies have won none of the last 12 league meetings with Newcastle.
Portsmouth v Sunderland
There have been fewer goals per game (34 in 17 matches) at Fratton Park than at any other ground this season. Sunderland have scored in only four of their last 12 Premiership matches.
