It's official. Sunday's north London derby will be the last hosted at White Hart Lane after Tottenham confirmed their temporary more to Wembley Stadium.

Arsenal come to town as the penultimate visitors before the stadium closes its doors, and is demolished, after 118 years.

The weekend's meet will be the 184th between the two teams, with the first held at the famous ground on August 22, 1914. Arsenal won 5-1 that day, despite playing in a division lower.

Over the years those in attendance have seen title wins, cup thumpings, eight-goal thrillers, nine-goal thrillers, many red cards, late winners, long-range rocket goals and much more.

Can Spurs win on Sunday to confirm a first league finish above Arsenal in 22 years to add to the list?

Ahead of the landmark clash, we have chosen some of the most memorable meetings in N17 from down the years from both sides of the north London divide.
