Form Guide
Tottenham will have been out of action for over two weeks by the time they face Arsenal on Sunday. However, their last meeting prior to this break in play was a resounding 4-0 loss at Newcastle to leave them six points off fourth at the time of writing. While Spurs have struggled on their travels, they’ve at least been decent at home, winning eight of their last nine at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, a 2-1 loss to Wolves the blip on the record books.
Just as Arsenal’s season looked to be falling apart, they’ve responded with back-to-back league wins over Wolves and Chelsea. The Gunners head into the North London Derby top of the table, but have played a game more than rivals Manchester City, so they need to keep up this winning form if they are to have any hopes of finishing top this season.
Team News
Destiny Udogie is out for the rest of the season for Tottenham but thankfully Pedro Porro returns to the side. Porro limped off early in the second half of the 4-0 loss at Newcastle owing to a hamstring issue yet has trained. The issue now is whether Ange Postecoglou opts for Ben Davies of Emerson Royal at left-back. Richarlison is also an option up top however, Manor Solomon, Fraser Forster and Ryan Sessegnon miss out.
Jurrien Timber remains Arsenal’s only injury concern here. The Dutchman should return before the end of the season and turned out for the U21s at the beginning of the week. Mikel Arteta, like opposite number Postecoglou, must decide on who starts at left-back, with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jakub Kiwior both options. Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli are also battling out to start on the left.
Probable XIs
Tottenham (4231): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Royal; Sarr, Bissouma; Johnson, Maddison, Werner; Son
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard
As Tottenham seek to derail Arsenal’s title bid, the Gunners can celebrate St. Totteringham’s Day at the home of their rivals on Sunday. Expect plenty of goals and drama in the North London Derby, and if the former comes to fruition; then you can expect Son Heung-Min and Kai Havertz to get on the scoresheet.
While Son’s form has dipped after the Asian Cup, the extra rest will benefit the South Korean, who’ll look to add to his 15 league goals this season. Havertz meanwhile netted twice in midweek and should feel confident about adding to his 11 goals. With that, SkyBet have boosted their offer of Son and Havertz to score on Sunday from 7/1 to 9/1.
Score Prediction: Tottenham 1-3 Arsenal
