Tottenham vs. Arsenal: Match Preview, Odds & Predictions

The North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal will occur on Sunday, and the spotlight will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs will play their hearts out in the local derby as they look to recover from their 2-1 setback to Newcastle United.

Brazil striker Richarlison will not be able to play due to a muscular ailment, but replacement Brennan Johnson is vying for a starting role in the most recent league encounter.

One big question mark surrounds the summer acquisition of Dominic Solanke.

While it's true that Declan Rice's dismissal early in the second half contributed to the Gunners' 1-1 tie with Brighton, the team still lost two points.

Given Arsenal's desire to get back on track, we are considering placing a bet on both teams to score.

On the other hand, Martin Odegaard joined Mikel Merino, Gabriel Jesus, and Takehiro Tomiyasu in the recovery room, while the midfielder above Rice was off-limits for the London derby.

The match on Sunday should go forward without Italian defender Ricardo Calafiori. 

The scheduled time for this match is 15/09/2024 at 14:00.

Previous matches and Head to Head

Take the hosts, Tottenham. After their first season under Ange Postecoglou, who won many fans' hearts, they were never in the hunt for a Champions League spot.

Despite the former Celtic manager's obvious intentions, the team has failed to establish consistency this season. 

Tottenham have only managed one win in their first three Premier League games this season, losing 2-1 away to Newcastle before the international break in September. Postecoglou's team has not won in a row since returning from the two-week break in March, and his defense has also been a constant source of frustration. 

The Spurs have only managed two clean sheets in their last fourteen league matches.

In this match, Arsenal will be looking for a quick recovery after being disappointed by their 1-1 home draw with Brighton before the international break.

Even though Arsenal may have lost out on a Premier League championship last season, Mikel Arteta's team is again considered a severe threat to Manchester City's crown. 

Arsenal made an early statement last month by beating Aston Villa 2-0 away from home, and they have since earned a terrifying reputation for their road success. 

The Gunners have been on a purple patch since the beginning of the calendar year, collecting 28 points from their past 10 Premier League away games. 

This includes an exciting 3-2 win when they traveled across north London on April 28.

Tottenham x Arsenal Team News

Richarlison, a former Everton marksman, is scheduled to miss Sunday's match for Tottenham due to a muscular issue. On the other hand, Spurs should welcome back summer signing Dominic Solanke this weekend, which may be a much-needed boost.

Similarly, Tottenham should have defensive ace Micky van de Ven back in the lineup, even if he didn't play away at Newcastle before the international break in September. Heung-Min Son, who scored twice against Everton to open his Premier League account last month, will be a crucial cog in the offense.

International player Declan Rice, who was sent out for a questionable red card against Brighton before the break, will serve a one-match ban here. Also, crucial Gunners captain Martin Odegaard hurt his ankle while playing for Norway and will likely miss this match, a major setback for the club.

Also, the Italian international Riccardo Calafiori, brought in this summer, is not likely to see any action even though evading a long-term calf injury. This season, Arsenal will be led by Kai Havertz, who has already scored twice in the Premier League.
