Insights:
  • Tottenham Hotspur has the fewest conceded goals (9) in Premier League
  • Tottenham Hotspur have scored more than double the goals of Arsenal.

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!

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
