Jose Mourinho has insane record against Arsenal and can match 65-year Tottenham achievement with another win, as Harry Kane also chases north London derby goal record

Arsenal travel to Tottenham on Sunday in what is the most mouth-watering Premier League clash of the weekend.

The north London derby never disappoints and with Jose Mourinho at the helm at Spurs, the entertainment factor has been propelled to another level.

Unfortunately for Gunners fans, Mourinho’s record against Arsenal is nothing short of incredible.

The Portuguese has never lost a home game against Arsenal in ten previous meetings in all competitions (W6 D4) – versus no side has he faced more matches at home in his career without ever suffering defeat.

He was famed for his brilliant record over the Gunners during his first reign at Chelsea, and kept up his successes when he returned to Stamford Bridge for a second tenure and then moved to Manchester United.

If Spurs win on Sunday, Mourinho could become only the second Tottenham manager in history to win both their first two games against Arsenal, having claimed victory in his first north London derby back in July.

The first manager to do this was Jimmy Anderson 1955/56, which means Mourinho could equal a record unmatched for a remarkable 65 years!

Arsenal will also be wary of facing their old foe Harry Kane, who is on course to start the match following an injury scare.

Kane has scored ten goals in all competitions against Arsenal – if he nets in this encounter he’ll become the outright highest goalscorer in north London derby history.

He’s currently level with Emmanuel Adebayor, who played for both clubs, and Spurs hero Bobby Smith in the rankings.

Despite Kane’s possible return against Arsenal, Erik Lamela is unlikely to be fit while Toby Alderweireld remains a doubt but is back in training following a groin problem.

Arsenal have their own injury worry over Thomas Partey, the midfielder, who faces a late fitness test for Sunday’s match having returned to training on Friday.
