Tottenham Hotspur has only lost once in their last eight home games against Arsenal, and both teams have scored in Tottenham’s last six home matches. Arsenal, meanwhile, have netted a total of 22 goals in their last eight away games. Both teams are set for a crucial encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Fresh from their emphatic 5-0 victory over Chelsea, Arsenal now tops the Premier League table and faces a challenging match against their fiercest rivals, Tottenham. Having been knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich, Arsenal’s focus is sharpened on the domestic league. Bayern’s team includes former Spurs players Harry Kane and Eric Dier, adding an extra layer of intrigue to this clash.
Spurs are in a tight race for fourth place with Aston Villa, who are currently six points ahead but have played two more games. The stakes are high for both Tottenham and Arsenal, promising a captivating match this Sunday.
Spurs Aim to Upset Arsenal’s Title Hopes
Despite Arsenal’s dominant performance against Chelsea, it’s worth noting that Chelsea was without key player Cole Palmer and generally hasn’t been performing to Tottenham’s level. Tottenham’s squad is robust and filled with attacking talent, positioning them well to secure a pivotal result in this derby.
Arsenal’s previous encounters include a 3-1 victory over Manchester United and a 4-0 win against PSV, but they only managed a draw at the Emirates in the reverse fixture against Spurs. The rivalry often brings out the best in teams, as demonstrated when Everton recently defeated Liverpool 2-0. Tottenham is well-positioned to throw a wrench in Arsenal’s pursuit of the title.
Tottenham has a strong home record against Arsenal, with only one loss in their last eight meetings and victories in eight of their last nine league games at home. This form suggests they could well earn at least a point this Sunday, aiding their chase for a top-four finish while hindering Arsenal’s title ambitions.
Expect a High-Scoring Affair in North London
Tottenham will have their work cut out trying to contain an Arsenal side that boasts players like Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Martin Odegaard, who have all had standout seasons. With Arsenal’s strong scoring record on the road and Tottenham’s recent trend of both teams scoring at home, goals are expected from both sides.
Heung-Min Son, in particular, could be crucial for Tottenham. The South Korean star has scored six goals in his last eight appearances against Arsenal, including both goals in the reverse fixture earlier this season. He’s a strong candidate to find the net against Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya once again.
As both teams prepare for Sunday’s showdown, fans can look forward to a thrilling and potentially decisive North London Derby
