Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham are currently enjoying third place in the top flight having risen up the pecking order over the last two or three seasons having edged out the likes of Manchester United, Chelsea and arch-rivals Arsenal but they still find themselves some way off the pace of the top two clubs, Liverpool and Manchester City.
Nevertheless, Tottenham are now a much harder team to beat under manager Pochettino, and with forwards Harry Kane (15 goals) and Son (11 goals) up front, along with Eriksen, Alli and Lamela in midfield, Spurs possess a decent side and one that is enjoying a four point lead over today’s opponents, Arsenal ahead of this local derby.
Despite losing four matches at home so far this season, Tottenham will no doubt be relieved to be returning to Wembley for today’s clash having suffered back-to-back defeats in recent matches away at Burnley 2-1 last Saturday and a 2-0 loss at Chelsea during the week.
Tottenham’s home record stands at 9-0-4 24/12 and they’ve won their last three home matches on the trot with wins against Watford, Newcastle United and Leicester City, and with a fit-again Kane up front, the hosts will be confident that they can bounce back from their two recent away defeats with a win in this derby.
- Tottenham have won their last 3 home matches on the trot in the EPL
- Arsenal have won just 1 of their last 7 away matches in the EPL
- Tottenham have won the last 2 league meetings at home against Arsenal
Arsenal Prediction
Arsenal picked up a fifth win in six matches in the Premier League during the week with a resounding 5-1 home win against Bournemouth as The Gunners moved up into the top four and now hold a Champions League spot which is now motivation enough for them to push on until the end of the season.
Recent wins over Chelsea, Cardiff City, Huddersfield Town, Southampton and Bournemouth have lifted Arsenal back where many of their fans believe they belong, and confidence will be high when they prepare to take on their old foes, Tottenham at Wembley today.
However, all is not rosy in the garden of Arsenal as their results away from home in recent times have been shocking; the recent 2-1 win at bottom club huddersfield Town ended a miserable run of six matches without a win on their travels, a run that included four defeats at Southampton, Liverpool, West Ham and Manchester City amidst an overall disappointing away record of 5-3-5 25/26.
Betting Tips Verdict
With a fully fit Harry Kane back in the team, Tottenham will be hard to beat today and will be desperate to keep Arsenal at arms length as the hosts look to nail down at least third spot in the Premier League.
