Time again for the North London derby, a game that will set the mood in that part of the city for months to come. Arsenal enter the game as league leaders, while Tottenham will try to break into the top 4.
Arsenal News
With a 3-point advantage over 2nd Chelsea and a match in hand, Arsenal are certainly optimistic that this could be their year. The Gunners have suffered just 1 loss in the Premier League this season – against defending champions Liverpool, but their performance overall has been spectacular. The cornerstone of this success seems to be the defensive stability that Arsenal displays in this campaign, as they boast the best defensive record, with just 5 conceded. Two of those came against Sunderland in the fixture before the international break. Arsenal are also one of the most potent teams with 20 goals scored. The draw against Sunderland is sure to have primed Arteta’s men to give their best and get back to winning ways, especially with an upcoming derby and a tough UCL fixture against Bayern Munich during the midweek.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Despite a strong start to the season, Spurs have struggled in the weeks leading up to the international break. The team’s stats in their last 5 league matches are average – 2 wins, 2 losses and a draw. Four of those games, however, did produce over 2.5 goals, with Tottenham failing to keep a clean sheet in 4 of them, save the 0-3 away win at Everton. What Thomas Frank and his team have going for them is the fact that they are still unbeaten on the road in the Premier League this season. And Tottenham have already taken down a big team as guests – Manchester City.
Head-to-Head-Games
Spurs haven’t done very well in the North London derby in recent years, as their last win dates back to May 2022. In the six editions following that fixture, Arsenal have won 5 times and 4 of the derbies produced over 2.5 goals.

Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Prediction
My selection here is for over 2.5 goals. Looking at the results in the North London derby, it seems to be a common occurrence, and it is logical to expect goals. Despite Arsenal’s solid defence this season, they did show cracks in the game against Sunderland. Tottenham will be eager to use their good travelling form to leverage a win in the derby that will propel them further up the standings.
