The Premier League returns this weekend following the international break, with Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal renewing hostilities on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners remain unbeaten this season, having taken seven points from a possible nine, while Spurs have recorded one win, one draw and one loss.
In this North London Derby preview, we highlight key stats and trends, sharing expert analysis along the way. Read on to find out what our predictive analytics model forecasts.
Tottenham suffered their first defeat of the season before the international break, enduring a 2-1 loss against Newcastle United at St. James’ Park.
Despite racking up 66% possession and 20 shots, Ange Postecoglou’s men were unable to overcome the Magpies, who defended solidly and counter-attacked with precision.
Spurs kicked off their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Leicester City before thrashing Everton 4-0, but they failed their first notable test a fortnight ago.
Still, Tottenham can take confidence from the fact that they won 13 of their 19 home games in the Premier League last season.
As for Arsenal, they started the season with successive 2-0 victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Aston Villa, courtesy of four different scorers.
However, the Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion before the break, with Declan Rice’s 49th-minute red card hampering his team’s chances.
Thanks to a strong end to the previous campaign, Mikel Arteta’s side have avoided defeat in each of their last 10 away outings in the Premier League.
Having lost just three of their last 25 matches across all competitions, Arsenal will be confident of picking up another positive result this weekend.
Head-to-head: Tottenham have failed to win any of their last four Premier League meetings with Arsenal, suffering three defeats in that time.
Given that nine of the previous 12 league meetings have produced over 2.5 goals, we are likely to see another high-scoring North London Derby.
Team news: Tottenham have a number of injury concerns ahead of Sunday’s clash, including Dominic Solanke, Micky van de Ven, Yves Bissouma and Richarlison.
Arsenal will be without Declan Rice (suspension) and Martin Odegaard (injury), while Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Jesus and Mikel Moreno are also sidelined.
Having claimed a solitary victory in their previous seven league meetings with Arsenal, Spurs do not have good recent memories of this fixture.
Forebet predicts that Tottenham and Arsenal will combine for over 3.5 goals on Sunday, although the Gunners are expected to outscore their arch-rivals.
