Arsenal vs Tottenham Preview
This derby nearly always delivers on entertainment value and last week’s action has placed extra significance on the fixture.
Arsenal suffered back-to-back defeats on home soil, first losing 2-0 to Newcastle in the Carabao Cup semi-finals before being defeated by Manchester United on penalties in the FA Cup Third Round.
So another humbling here against their arch nemesis would spell the beginning of a crisis period for Mikel Arteta.
But a crucial victory will not come easy, as like Spurs, Arsenal are having to contend with a host of injuries to key players.
Gabriel Jesus is rumoured to have ruptured his ACL, so the Gunners have limited options in attack – an already struggling department which has dominated the narrative in the build up.
However, the majority of Spurs’ injuries are in defence and with Ange Postecolgou’s high-octane playing style, this fixture could present Arsenal’s forward line – which has scored just one goal from the last 49 shots on goal – with the perfect opportunity to return to form.
There should be chances aplenty for the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling, although Spurs did manage to keep a clean sheet in their 1-0 win over Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
And Arsenal’s back-line has been somewhat leaky of late, conceding in each of the last four games across all competitions.
With Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski each in a rich vein of form and only playing minimal minutes in the 3-0 win at Tamworth in the FA Cup, Tottenham will have aspirations of sparking scenes of pandemonium in the Emirates away stand.
What a game we have in prospect!
Arsenal vs Tottenham Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Despite being without a win in three after drawing 1-1 with Brighton last time out in the league, Arsenal are huge favourites at 1.39. A Tottenham win is priced at 6.70, while the draw is 5.40.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Betting Tips
Kai Havertz to score anytime @ 2.36
Havertz missed a host of clearcut chances in the defeats to Newcastle and Man Utd, before missing a penalty in the latter fixture’s shootout. But he is still a quality player and can get the Arsenal fans back on side with his eighth Premier League goal of the season.
Draw and both teams to score @ 5.55
While the odds suggest a comfortable win for Arsenal, we can see it being anything but. Spurs are the team in form and we can see them getting at least a score draw. Tottenham to win and both teams to score is priced at 9.40.
Over 5.5 yellow cards in the match @ 1.95
A derby with so much riding on it? Yeah, it is going to get feisty, so expect yellow cards to be accrued by both sides at the Emirates.
