Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur | Free Betting Tips & Predictions

On paper, this game will be challenging to call. Both sides are experiencing injury issues in key areas of the pitch, which will dampen the chances for either side. Still, the recent record between the two teams leads us to believe that Arsenal will seek out a much-needed against their local rivals.

This season, Arsenal remain unbeaten at home with six victories and three draws from nine league games at the Emirates. The Gunners have not lost in the last five encounters against this opponent. Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur have managed just 10 points out of a possible 27 in away matches, suffering five losses on the road.

Goals are usually a custom in this fixture, with over 2.5 goals landing in five of the last seven meetings between the two teams.

We anticipate an exciting and fiercely contested match between these two fierce rivals. However, with Tottenham Hotspur likely including Archie Gray in their defence, Arsenal will try to take advantage of that, even though their attacking options are somewhat limited.

We predict a score of Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur.

The North London derby consistently delivers thrills, with both teams eager to assert dominance as Arsenal takes on Tottenham Hotspur at the Emirates.

Arsenal will be in desperate need of a win to keep within distance of Premier League leaders Liverpool and rectify the horrendous week for the club and Mikel Arteta. Arsenal have seen their chances in both domestic cup competitions dwindle in the last week, only leaving the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League as the only viable trophy options this season. Whilst a possible comeback from 2-0 down is possible against Newcastle United, their performance against ten men of Manchester United raised more questions than answers surrounding this Arsenal side. Arsenal failed to break down a depleted Manchester United for roughly just over an hour, to fall short on penalties, with the spotlight shining on Kai Havertz in particular.

The Gunners will be looking towards this game as an opportunity to recover some points on Liverpool and return to winning ways. Arsenal are chasing a six-point deficit from the league leaders, who also have a game in hand on the Gunners. A win would move Arsenal three points behind Liverpool should the Reds lose their game against Nottingham Forest. A defeat could see Nottingham Forest leapfrog the Gunners should Forest beat Liverpool.

Tottenham Hotspur have had an indifferent season in the Premier League. However, the visitors are still in three cup competitions and have one foot in the Carabao Cup final following their 1-0 home-leg victory against Liverpool. Tottenham will also have tired legs coming into this game after being miraculously drawn into extra time against non-league Tamworth.

Tottenham Hotspur have been indifferent in the Premier League this season, with seven wins from 20 games, and Ange Postecoglu’s side are in 12th in the league standings heading into this game. The visitors for this North London Derby can only move as high as 11th in the Premier League, but a bad result could see Tottenham Hotspur fall as far as 15th in the league, should teams around them win their respective games.

The reverse fixture between the two teams in September, resulted in a 1-0 win for the Gunners. Gabriel scored a routine winner for Arsenal from a corner in the 64th minute.

The game will be available on TNT Sports 1.

Arsenal have many injury issues following their penalties defeat to Manchester United, with Gabriel Jesus forced off with a reported ACL injury. Riccardo Califiori and Bukayo Saka will also be unavailable for the game against Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur are likely to field Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray at the back, whilst the likes of Cristian Romero and Micky van de Vean are both expected to miss out. Rodrigo Bentancur is ruled out with a concussion.

The recent results between the two teams suggest that Arsenal will certainly have the advantage in this game. Arsenal are unbeaten in the last five league meetings between the two teams, having won four of the last five league matches against Tottenham Hotspur, including the previous three at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tottenham are without a clean sheet in their last five meetings against Arsenal and last beat Arsenal 3-0 in 2022 to secure Champions League football under Antonio Conte.

Arsenal come into this game with two losses in their previous five in all competitions and no wins in their last three. The Gunners have nos suffered consecutive defeats to Newcastle United (0-2) and Manchester United, having also drawn 1-1 away to Brighton & Hove Albion in their most recent league game. Arsenal hasn’t capitalised on Liverpool’s recent results, with matches against Brighton have been the undoing for Mikel Arteta.

This season, Arsenal remain unbeaten at home with six victories and three draws from nine league games at the Emirates. Arsenal have won three of their last five home fixtures, with three clean sheets against the likes of Ipswich Town, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. Arsenal’s previous home game saw them overcome a determined Ipswich Town side following a single goal from Kai Havertz.

Tottenham Hotspur come into this game following the 3-0 win over non-league Tamworth, but the part-time outfit dragged the Premier League side to extra time. Tottenham Hotspur have not won in four league games following their 2-1 home defeat against Newcastle United, and in that run, they have also conceded six to Liverpool. Tottenham Hotspur have only won once in their previous eight league games.

Away from home, Tottenham Hotspur have managed just 10 points out of a possible 27 in away matches, suffering five losses on the road. Spurs have lost three of their previous five league games on their travels, with three consecutive 1-0 defeats against Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace. The visitors have only kept one clean sheet away from home in their last five, in the 4-0 thumping of Manchester City.
