Head-to-Head Analysis
Historically, the North London Derby is a fixture that rarely disappoints, often producing fireworks and plenty of goals. Across the last 15 meetings, there have been a total of 48 goals, averaging a thrilling 3.2 goals per game. While recent encounters have seen some tightly contested draws, the history of this fixture points towards an entertaining affair.

Considering Arsenal’s commanding league position, their incredible defensive record, and the home advantage, it’s difficult to look past a victory for the league leaders. While Tottenham have the firepower to cause problems, the Gunners have demonstrated superior consistency and stability this season. They have only lost once and have made their home ground a fortress. We expect them to control the tempo and secure a vital three points against their biggest rivals.
