Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal: Preview
Form
Tottenham Hotspur has a difficult start to the 2024-25 season. Ange Postecoglous side kicked off their campaign with a 1-1 draw with Leicester City. On Matchday 2, the Lilywhites bounced back with a bang, claiming a thumping 4-0 victory over Everton. However, the good feeling did not last, as the North London outfit succumbed to a 2-1 defeat against Newcastle United on Matchday 3. With just four points on the board after three games, Tottenham is in 10th place in the Premier League rankings.
Arsenal, on the other hand, kicked off their season on the right note, securing a 2-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at the Emirates Stadium. On Matchday 2, Mikel Arteta’s side produced an even better performance, beating Aston Villa 2-0 at Villa Park. However, things went sideways on Matchday 3, with Brighton & Hove Albion restricting them to a 1-1 draw.
Team News
Dominic Solanke (ankle), Micky van de Ven (knee), Yves Bissouma (other), and Richarlison (other) are questionable for the North London Derby, but each of those players has a chance of making it.
Arsenal, meanwhile, will be without two of their first-XI stars, Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice. Odegaard injured his ankle during the international break whereas Rice picked up a second yellow in the 1-1 draw with Brighton. Mikel Merino (shoulder) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) are also out while Riccardo Calafiori (calf), Kieran Tierney (thigh), and Gabriel Jesus (hip) are a doubt.
Head-to-Head
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal has locked horns 209 times over the years. The Lilywhites have secured 67 wins, the Gunners 87 victories, and 55 games have ended all square.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal: Prediction
Arsenal will be without their top two midfielders this Sunday, so Tottenham has every right to fancy themselves in the first North London Derby this season. However, given the quality the Gunners have and how determined they are to win the Premier League title, we are certain that they will not go down without a fight.
We are expecting to see a thoroughly entertaining 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend.
