Betting Preview
Arsenal sit four points clear at the top of the Premier League after an almost flawless run (W12, D2) since their defeat to Liverpool in August. If they’re serious about ending their title drought, which stretches back to 2004, they’ll need to cut out costly lapses like the 2-2 draw at Sunderland before the international break. Aside from that slip, their defensive record has been outstanding: they’ve conceded just three goals across their other ten league fixtures.

At the Emirates, the Gunners have been even more dominant. They’ve won four of five home league matches with accompanying clean sheets, and only Erling Haaland has managed to breach their defence on home soil. Everything suggests they’re primed to reset and go again.
Tottenham, meanwhile, have cooled off after their bright start. Just one win from their last four league outings (D1, L2) has kept them hanging around the top-four conversation, but added pressure to turn performances into results. Thomas Frank’s side thought they’d done enough against Manchester United last time out, only to concede in added time, a moment that hits even harder heading into a derby of this size.

Frank also needs to address Spurs’ recent London derby struggles, with only one win in their last six (W1, D1, L4). But there is a silver lining: they remain the only unbeaten away side in the Premier League this season (W4, D1). That record alone should give them the belief that a trip to the Emirates isn’t quite as intimidating as it once was.
