Tottenham return to action after a two-week break, with the north London side having been licking their wounds since a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Newcastle United. Previously to this, Spurs had won four of six encounters and they will have had plenty of preparation time for one of their biggest fixtures of the campaign.
Arsenal are not only clashing with their arch-rivals but are also in hot pursuit of the Premier League title and a 5-0 victory over Chelsea cemented their case to become champions. Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice were hugely instrumental in that victory, although this should be a tougher London derby against a competitive side.
Tottenham have claimed three consecutive home wins, having accounted for Crystal Palace, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest. They also claimed a 4-0 victory at Villa Park although heavy defeats at the hands of Fulham and Newcastle will give Arsenal hope that they can take another step towards a potential title.
We think that any Arsenal victory might be accompanied by both teams scoring, with Kai Havertz looking to build on his two goals that were scored against Chelsea. We should also expect a few yellow cards to be brandished, with James Maddison and Havertz among those who could make their way into the referee’s book.
