Arsenal v Tottenham- Recent Form & Momentum

Arsenal are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games, winning six of them. Before the international break the Gunners were held 2-2 at Sunderland in a dramatic game and they will want to get back to winning ways against their closest rivals. The Gunners have not lost a game at home this season, conceding just one goal in their five home matches.

Tottenham have the best away record in the Premier League, picking up 13 points (four wins and a draw) from their five road games so far this season. That record far eclipses their form at home under Thomas Frank, which is why they may well prefer to be facing Arsenal on the road. Spurs don't have the best of records in Arsenal v Tottenham fixtures at the Emirates, but their current away form may give them a little more confidence than usual against the current league leaders.

Arsenal v Tottenham – Team News & Predicted Lineups

Here's some of the key pointers, team news and predicted starting XI for the Arsenal v Tottenham Premier League match this weekend.

Arsenal

• Arsenal will be without Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Jesus for the game with Spurs. However Viktor Gyokeres, Kai Havertz, Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli and Noni Madueke could all be fit for the game, though most likely start from the bench if available.
• Gabriel has an adductor injury and needs to be assessed to see if he is able to play against Spurs. If not then Mosquera will likely replace him in the team.
• Similarly, if Gyokeres is not fit enough to start in the match then Merino will likely continue as the focal point in attack.
• A possible team selection for Arsenal could be: (4-3-3) – Raya; Timber, Calafiori, Saliba, Mosquera; Rice, Zubimendi, Eze; Trossard, Saka, Merino.

Tottenham Hotspur

• James Maddison will be absent for Spurs for the rest of the season with a cruciate knee ligament injury. Pape Sarr is also a doubt for this game after picking up a knock.
• Spurs could welcome back a clutch of players from injury for this game including Kulusevski, Bergvall, Solanke, Davies, Grey, Bissouma, Takai, Dragusin and Kolo-Muani should be fit after a facial injury sustained against Manchester United.
• A potential Tottenham team for the game may be (4-2-3-1) – Vicario; Porro, Spence, Romero, Van de Ven; Palhinha, Betancur; Kulusevski, Simons, Richarlison; Kolo-Muani.

Arsenal v Tottenham – Key Battles & Tactical Themes

• Arsenal's miserly defence is the best in the Premier League and has conceded just one goal at home. How they deal with Spurs counter attacks will be a key part of this game.
• Spurs have had a few issues with defensive set pieces, a part of the game in which Arsenal excel, so expect the Gunners to take full advantage of any attacking set pieces and corners throughout the game.
• Keeping ten men on the field is key in derby games such as this, watch out for flashpoints in the game where a red or yellow card could sway the game in one team's favour.
• Arsenal's high press will likely put Spurs back line under real pressure. How they can cope with this and build from the back, without losing the ball, could determine Spurs chances of success here.

Arsenal v Tottenham – Prediction & What to Watch

With Arsenal looking in no danger of making a slip-up at home, this game is crucial for Spurs as defeat would see them fall 11 points behind Arsenal and likely out of title contention. The Gunners know that picking up points at home is a must if they are to land the league title this season and doing so against their fierce rivals makes this an even more important game to win for the home fans.

Games between these teams have always been exciting. Some have been very close, others more comfortable wins, particular for Arsenal and especially at the Etihad. Despite Spurs away form being good, I am backing Arsenal to get the job done here.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham

What to watch:

• Arsenal's danger at attacking set pieces and their high press will put Spurs defence under plenty of pressure throughout the game.
• The first goal will be crucial in this contest. If Spurs are to get anything from this game then they will likely need to score the opening goal.
• Expect Spurs 4-2-3-1 to become more of a 4-5-1 when Arsenal are on the attack.
