Yet another exciting game in the Premier League. Arsenal is in the 13th position from participating in five fixtures. They receive Tottenham Hotspur who are placed 7th from five matches.

Insights:
  • Arsenal have the most conceded goals in the first half (6) in Premier League
  • Tottenham Hotspur have conceded at least twice as many corners as they have won away.

There’s no shortage of football teams in London, the capital of England (and the United Kingdom). These two clubs are both located in North London and have been through many intense and vicious matches against each other through more than one hundred years of North London derbies. Prepare for a passionate clash!

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

Arsenal form and stats

Only two Premier League home games for Arsenal so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Arsenal, as their goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has completely shut out the opponents for 186 minutes in the Premier League.

Arsenal's previous game was a Carabao Cup match also played at home, ending 3-0 versus AFC Wimbledon. The home side are looking to build on that result. The attacking player Alexandre Lacazette was declared "man of the match" for Arsenal with a rating of 8.21/10. Lacazette scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Burnley and winning 1-0.

This is expected to be a close game, with Arsenal perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Arsenal as a small favourite), we find three games. Arsenal has won two of these, drawn one and lost zero.

Arsenal has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Tottenham Hotspur form and stats

Things could have gone better for Tottenham Hotspur in their Premier League away matches, but 3 points from 2 games is all right.

The attacking players of Spurs have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 228 minutes.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Wolverhampton Wanderers (after extra-time, 2-3 on penalties) (placed 16th) in their previous outing. The Carabao Cup match ended in a draw 2-2. Drawing 2-2 against Wolverhampton Wanderers (after extra-time, 2-3 on penalties) after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager N. Simões Espírito Santo needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Attacker Harry Kane got a player rating of 8.01 in the game. "Man of the match" Kane scored one goal, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 4 times and had 21 successful passes (of 25 total).

A 0-3 loss hosting Chelsea before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found two similar matches played by Spurs in our archives, and the results are: zero wins for Tottenham Hotspur, one draw and one defeat.

1 goal so far away for Tottenham Hotspur, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Arsenal three wins, two draws and Tottenham Hotspur five victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
