Tottenham Hotspur Vs Arsenal predictions & betting tips by Tips Just In. Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will meet in the 191st North London derby in a crucial push for UEFA Champions League (UCL) qualifying next season.
Despite being in fifth position and behind their opponents by four points, Antonio Conte’s resurgent Spurs have won five of their previous seven league derbies (W5, D2) and will be optimistic of avoiding a setback that would terminate their top-four aspirations and ensure qualification for their opponents.
Tottenham became the first team to earn Premier League points at Anfield since October 2021 after an inspired defensive display in a 1-1 draw with Liverpool, and another tenacious performance could see them extend an impressive run in which they have only lost once in their last eight games (W5, D2), conceding just five goals.
Arsenal‘s late-season surge continued with a 2-1 victory over Leeds United, their fourth in a row, all of which saw both teams score. Manager Mikel Arteta had a happy week after signing a contract extension, but he understands there is still a lot of work to be done if they are to return to the UCL for the first time since 2016/17.
“Any match is difficult to win. We’ll do our best to prepare,” he declared ahead of his sixth North London derby as a manager (W2, L2), and the first on a Thursday since 1971/72.
Despite the increased competitiveness of this rivalry in recent years, there hasn’t been an away winner in a Premier League H2H at any venue since Arsenal won 1-0 at Spurs in March 2014, although Arteta – their captain on that day – is the man who can inspire them to do so again almost a decade later! However, a draw would not be surprising, considering the ‘Gunners‘ last drew in league away play in October (W8, L5).
Tottenham‘s Harry Kane (11) has the most Premier League goals in this match, while Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah has four goals in his past four Premier League appearances, three of them coming in the first 15 minutes.
Tottenham’s Heung Min Son total goals so far this season amount to 20. He will be a key striker to watch in Thursday’s North London derby as he looks ahead to extend his goal tally in chase for this season’s Golden Boot.
Only one of the past 17 H2H halves between these two teams has ended in a tie.
