In-form Harry Kane will be aiming to close in on an Arsenal legend's record when his Tottenham team travel to the Gunners, live on Sky Sports on Sunday.

Kane extended his remarkable record in London derbies with a strike in Spurs' 3-1 win over Chelsea last weekend.

He has now netted 25 times in 39 Premier League capital clashes.

That tally ranks him joint-sixth on the all-time Premier League table for total goals scored in London derbies alongside former Arsenal skipper Robin van Persie and trailing Gunners legend Thierry Henry, who leads the way with 43.

Frank Lampard, Teddy Sheringham, Jermain Defoe and Ian Wright are next on the list. However, Kane has the second-best goals per game record on that list, with Henry again top of the pile.
