Arsenal v Tottenham

Arsenal vs Tottenham Preview

Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw last time out in the Premier League when The Gunners drew 1-1 away from home at Brighton down on the south coast but nevertheless, Mikel Arteta's side still remain in second place in the English top flight table level on points with Nottingham Forest ahead of this upcoming north London derby against arch-rivals Tottenham.

Tottenham stumbled to a third defeat in four games last time out in the domestic top flight when Ange Postecoglou's side were handed another disappointing loss which came in the form of a 2-1 loss at home to Newcastle United.

Out of these two north London teams, Arsenal look the more likely to take the derby spoils in this upcoming clash at the Emirates Stadium as The Gunners bring a solid and impressive 10-match unbeaten run into this vitally important encounter.

Six wins and four draws have helped the hosts further cement their place in the top four pack near the top of the Premier League table and given Tottenham's poor sequence of results lately in the top flight, the hosts will fancy their chances of claiming all three points here.

Three of Arsenal's recent six wins have been achieved at their Emirates Stadium where Arteta's side have recorded victories against the likes of Nottingham Forest 3-0, Manchester United 2-0 and Ipswich Town 1-0 respectively.

Tottenham face a short but extremely tough looking north London derby against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night as Spurs have managed to collect just one win from their last eight league matches overall.

That rare recent win came in the shape of a 5-0 thrashing of Southampton down on the south coast at St Marys Stadium but there's been very little for Tottenham fans to cheer about in recent weeks.

Five defeats within these last eight matches underlines the problems that Ange Postecoglou's side have had in terms of stringing together any sort of run of positive results and the losses incurred against Bournemouth, Chelsea, Liverpool, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United suggest this upcoming derby clash with Arsenal could see the visitors come unstuck once again.

League wins on the road have also been in short supply as Tottenham have managed to capture just four victories away from home in their last 15 away games whilst also being dealt nine defeats in the process as well.

Spurs have also failed to score in six of these previous 15 away games in the top flight and this could contribute to another game to forget for the visitors.

Arsenal v Tottenham Verdict
