Tottenham v Arsenal Betting Tips – Premier League 10th February 12.30pm

A huge North London derby coming our way on Saturday lunchtime. This is fifth versus sixth so it is a huge clash in terms of the chase for a top-four finish. Spurs hold a four-point average over their rivals so they have the chance to open up a healthy cushion over their North London rivals in this one. Will Arsenal though be able to shake off their poor away form this season and complete the league double over the Lilywhites for the season?

Tottenham News and Form

Spurs carried on in their unbeaten ways in the Premier League last weekend (to eight games) as a dramatic late penalty from Harry Kane gave them a 2-2 draw at Anfield against Liverpool. That was a tough away fixture for them, but they now they get back to Wembley where they are W5 D1 in their last six league games there. So the home form is currently there for them and overall at home, this season in the Premier League Spurs are W8 D4 L1 in the top flight. They have taken a clean sheet in their last two there, and on top of that they blanked Arsenal in their home game against them last season a Tottenham to win to nil with bet365 is at 10/3 odds* (Betting Odds taken on February 5h, 2018 at 00:44 a.m.) for the derby clash. In almost half of their league home games this season Spurs have taken a clean sheet, and 38% of their home games have been won to nil. Going forward in attack, the Lilywhites have averaged 2.15 goals per game this term and have conceded just the nine goals in their thirteen games. Harry Kane is the first goalscorer favourite and continues to be in red-hot form. This is an important London derby for them as they can’t take their foot off the gas in their push for a top-four finish.

Arsenal News and Form

Arsenal are still trying to make up ground on their rivals. The Gunners are a place behind the Lilywhites and four points adrift of them. So you can see how damaging a defeat would be for them in this derby clash. Arsenal destroyed Everton last weekend in the top flight and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang got a goal on his debut for the Gunners. That was at home and it is their away form which has been dreadful this season by their usual high standards. The Gunners are only W3 D4 L6 record away from the Emirates in the top flight this season and have lost their last two away games, going down against Bournemouth and Swansea and they are winless in three away games. Arsenal have a W1 D3 L2 record in their last six Premier League away games. They have netted in each of their last four though on the road so both teams to score at bet365 is at a price of 1/2* (Betting Odds taken on February 5h, 2018 at 00:44 a.m.) but they will face a tough defence. Arsenal have conceded at a rate of 1.6 goals per away this season which isn’t great and they have a clean sheet in just 23% of their away games. Arsene Wenger’s men are without a clean sheet in their last six away games and each of their last five games in the league have managed to get above the 2.5 goal line. Three points would keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive.

Tottenham v Arsenal Head to Head

Arsenal were on a four-match winless streak of form against the Lilywhites (D3 L1) before they rolled out a 2-0 home win over Spurs earlier in the season. The last two fixtures between the rivals in the top flight have both been won by the home side 2-0. Arsenal are without a win in any of their last three road games at Spurs, losing two and taking one draw. Both teams have scored in six of the last eight meetings, but not in the last two.

Tottenham v Arsenal Predictions

Tottenham to win: Arsenal’s away form isn’t there to suggest that they can go and take down their rivals at Wembley. Spurs are in great home form, they are scoring well and the Gunners have looked pretty shaky at the back for a while now. Spurs will probably have the quality to rip them open. Home win.
