Tottenham vs Arsenal

Get all the essential team news, stats, quotes and classic action to get you in the mood for derby day.

Nick and Adrian will be on air at Emirates Stadium from 3.30pm, looking back at our north London derby win earlier in the season. However, one piece of good news is that they have never won four in a row at our expense in their league history. The last saw them run out 3-0 victors in May, and they also claimed 2-0 and 2-1 successes in our other meetings at their new stadium. We’ll prepare for any occasion in the best possible way and then it will be left to the players to do what they have to do on the pitch." They have scored more second half goals than any other side in the division this season (27), accounting for a league-high 73% of their total However, our 3-1 defeat was the first of four in their next seven, and they also suffered an early exit in the League Cup to Nottingham Forest.

There are rarely small North London derbies, but this one's huge: first-place Arsenal visits top-four hopeful Spurs on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

His cross is blocked and then a cross is swung in but Ederson saves the header. Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne tore United apart in October and City will hope that duo can connect and that they can control the tempo of this game, especially in midfield. Antony is also getting back to his best after a bit of a dip in form. United are building momentum and Marcus Rashford is leading the charge. They have struggled against United in derby games in recent years but that wasn’t the case As for City, they make eight changes to the team which lost at Southampton in midweek as Haaland and De Bruyne are tasked with unlocking this suddenly very stingy United defense. No big chances yet but City are dominating possession with United happy to sit back and play direct. A ball over the top sees Ederson rush out but Rashford beats him to it and goes around him. A tense, but intriguing, first half in the Manchester Derby. At the other end Phil Foden then goes down in the box under pressure from Casemiro but that is not a penalty kick. Marcus Rashford was flagged for offside and the goal from Bruno Fernandes didn’t stand, but VAR was used and it now stands. Rashford was clearly offside and impacted play, but he didn’t touch the ball.

With Arsenal looking strong in every aspect, Tottenham has not been at its best and has struggled to win. See the preview of both teams.

While Arsenal will not be the victim of Tottenham’s early goals conceded followed by a comeback, the Spurs are not in the best of situations. Arsenal will be a terrific encounter, and the player should be ready to trouble their defence. He has been the club’s primary conductor and has controlled play from the park’s middle. The Norwegian has frequently aided Gunner, and his ingenuity is constantly on display. In order to defeat Arsenal, Spurs will have to operate at the highest level possible. The England international’s World Cup penalty miss didn’t deter him, and he extended his goal-scoring streak in the Premier League’s first game after the World Cup.

The North London Derby closes out the weekend's Premier League action on Sunday, just a day after the Manchester Derby took centre stage.

Arsenal have raced out to a five-point league at the midway point of their campaign, with just a single loss on their record (which came way back in early September). Spurs will obviously hope to keep all their players on the pitch this time around, but they'll also look to improve upon a performance that saw them outshot 22-7 and outpossessed 65-35.

Andy Schooler is expecting goals when Tottenham host Premier League leaders Arsenal on Sunday, including another derby one from Harry Kane.

The Gunners have failed to win any of their last eight league games away to Spurs, whether at White Hart Lane, Wembley or their current spaceship of a ground. Some will see that as an irrelevant statistic but I've long been a believer in how such runs can get into players' heads. They've won 14 of 17 league games so far and are 2.285/4 Tottenham have only failed to score in one of their last 17 Premier League games against Arsenal, finding the net in each of their last 10 since a 2-0 loss in November 2017. [player card](https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/football/market/1.208183087) bet but a way of squeezing a bit more value out of Xhaka's dirty streak is to back him for [2+ fouls](https://www.betfair.com/sport/football/english-premier-league/tottenham-v-arsenal/31997450) instead. He's managed this in nine of his last 13 derby games and while his foul count has come down this season, largely due to playing slightly further forward, it's worth noting that Pawson sits third for fouls per game in the Premier League table for refs who have taken charge of multiple games. This season he's found the net in 13 of his 18 matches (15 goals in total) and that would be been spoken about a lot more were it not for a certain Erling Haaland. They've lost the last three (and have never lost four in a row) with their last victory coming in 2014. Throw in the fact this is a huge derby and relying solely on recent form isn't the route I want to go down. [for victory](https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/football/market/1.208183149) here with Spurs out at 3.3512/5 following a run of four defeats in their last eight league outings. Both clubs still have a long way to go to achieve their aims and there's little doubt that one would love to throw a spanner in the works of the other. This time around, Arsenal find themselves in the unexpected position of Premier League leaders - and May's defeat probably has something to do with that; not being in the CL has surely helped their domestic cause.

Harry Kane, who has a special fondness for this matchup, maybe the game-winner for Spurs and give Conte’s team reason to think of a win. Dejan Kulusevski has returned to training and, barring any setbacks from his muscle issue, should be ready to replace Bryan Gil in the starting lineup. Bukayo Saka was taken off of action on a stretcher last time, but Arteta says he is “fine.” In what has become one of the most significant north London derbies in recent years, Tottenham will play host to Arsenal. Yves Bissouma seems to be progressing from an ankle injury he suffered in the FA Cup match against Portsmouth. Tottenham vs Arsenal

This is not a typo- it's mid-January, and league leaders Arsenal are heading to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a huge North London Derby as they look to ...

It’ll be interesting to see how this usually-potent attack approaches the challenge of a central defense that is semi-uniquely well-equipped to deal with Kane, who can be described as nothing other than Spurs’ main strategy to score goals and win games. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a major key for the team, he’s picked up a pair of assists as well as four goals, which is actually tied for second on the team, and has played more Prem minutes for Spurs than any outfield player not named Harry Kane. On the other side of the formation, Ben White, a big addition from a year ago, is settling in and playing consistently strong football for Arsenal. Despite the ups and downs in terms of team results, there’s one comforting similarity to the best Spurs teams of recent years; Harry Kane is playing absolutely out of his mind. The goalscoring total is a bit tougher, but I do think Vegas has it right with the over being favored; in Addition to Arsenal being the second-best goalscoring side, Spurs are third in that category, without the same defensive quality, to say the least. And of course, at the back of it all has been Aaron Ramsdale, putting in another predictably strong season for his club. It’s truly been a magical season for the Gunners, and seemingly out of nowhere for a team that didn’t even make the Champions League last season. Even Granit Xhaka, who plays less of an attacking role, has picked up 3 goals and 4 assists in league play, as he has put together one of his best all-around seasons as a gunner. Thomas Partey, is also having a great year in terms of his on-the-pitch performance; his impact doesn’t always show up through statistics, but he has an outrageous average match rating (via FotMob) of 7.70, and is one of the team’s most irreplaceable players. For a goalscoring total of 2.5, the over is favored at -135 while the under is +110. They also won a game in the FA cup, but it was a dicey 1-0 win at home over third-division Portsmouth. Tottenham need the win pretty badly themselves; they’re not in the same form as their neighbors, and need all the points they can get to stay well-positioned in the crowded top-four race.

This weekend, Tottenham welcomes Arsenal to N17 in the latest iteration of the infamous North London Derby in what looks like a must-win match.

[Crystal Palace](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/crystal-palace-fc) (2pm) are far from no-hopers today, but Blues’ defender Kalidou Koulibaly has the stats to make us feel optimistic about him at 14/1 (Unibet) ‘anytime scorer’. Eddie Howe has his Toon riding high on the back of an iron-clad defence – and you’d fancy them to contain the Cottagers. [Newcastle](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/newcastle-united-fc) have produced four ‘no goalscorer’ returns in their past 10 games and seven in 23 this season. It’s the hope that gets you, of course. You’d never know it from the prices for today’s visit of [Fulham](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/fulham-fc) (2pm). [Harry Kane](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/harry-kane) and [Bukayo Saka](https://www.irishmirror.ie/all-about/bukayo-saka) are both one yellow from a ban, but that will be forgotten – even sensible heads get caught up in all the excitement, and the bookings punt to have is Martin Odegaard – carded in both derbies last season – at a chunky 11/2 (Bet365, Paddy) ‘to be shown a card’.

Spurs are coming off of a 4-0 drubbing of Crystal Palace that will give the team confidence and Harry Kane loves playing in these high stakes rivalry games, but ...

Tottenham: Conte will get an injury boost as Dejan Kulusevski could return to the fold for this match. It will come too soon for Richarlison but midfielder Yves Bissouma will also return to the attack. Mikel Arteta has created a team that won't roll over in these matches and it'll show when it matters. If Son shows up, Spurs can certainly secure a point, but with Arsenal's balanced attack, they're the odds on favorites. Arsenal's season really took off after a 3-1 victory over Spurs in October and so far, even losing Gabriel Jesus to injury hasn't slowed them down. Rodrigo Betancur is another player who will face a late fitness test but he's unlikely to appear in the match.

Arsenal take on Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon in what should be an amazing contest, so we simulated the North London Derby to ...

A quick one-two with Xhaka saw the winger break into the box, and a curling finish sent the ball past Lloris to seal an emphatic victory. As Spurs sat back on the edge of their own box, the Gunners held possession as they looked for a way through with Odegaard orchestrating the move. With four minutes remaining, Arsenal made it five, and Martinelli grabbed his third of the game. Gabriel Martinelli grabbed both goals, with the two strikes coming in the 39th and 43rd minutes. The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a win for Arsenal, with goals from Thomas Partey, Gabriel Jesus and Granit Xhaka securing a 3-1 win in the North London Derby. [Arsenal](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/) will be hoping to pull further away from Man City, with five points separating the two sides at the top of the Premier League table.

There are rarely small North London derbies, but this one's huge: first-place Arsenal visits top-four hopeful Spurs on Sunday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

His cross is blocked and then a cross is swung in but Ederson saves the header. The Eagles have failed to score a goal in three of their last four PL games as they generate precious scoring chances and struggle to finish the ones they do create. Antony is also getting back to his best after a bit of a dip in form. United are building momentum and Marcus Rashford is leading the charge. As for City, they make eight changes to the team which lost at Southampton in midweek as Haaland and De Bruyne are tasked with unlocking this suddenly very stingy United defense. In the form he’s in, this is the last thing Manchester United would have wanted. Felt like he was offside most of the time he tried to get involved in attacks. The spirit of the team is so huge, the belief is there that the game is 90 minutes and we can fight back. Marcus Rashford was flagged for offside and the goal from Bruno Fernandes didn’t stand, but VAR was used and it now stands. The Red Devils have now won nine-straight games in all competitions and five-straight in the Premier League. Spurs have not lost a home Premier League derby to Arsenal in eight-straight, with only two draws and the last one coming in March 2019. The Gunners could be just two points clear of Man City at kickoff, but they could also have a chance to stretch their table advantage as high as eight.
