Arsenal vs Tottenham Preview

Arsenal vs Tottenham

Competition – Barclays Premier League

Stadium – Emirates Stadium

Date: 2nd December 2018

Kick-off time – 14:05 GMT

Tottenham travel for this North London derby full of confidence as they look to build on a recent run of 6 consecutive wins.

The Lilywhites haven’t won a game at the Emirates since 2010 but they should feel that they have a chance to change that record in this game.

This derby has been dominated by the home team for a long time now, and both of these teams come into this game in excellent form.

The Gunners have not tasted defeat in their last 18 games after a solid away performance against Vorskla Poltava in the Europa League on Thursday.

This game will be the first of two tough matches for Unai Emery’s men.  The Gunners take on Manchester United after this match and the former PSG manager knows that a win here would boost the morale of his players ahead of their trip to Old Trafford.

Since their defeat to Manchester City, Spurs have turned on the style and having beaten both Chelsea and Inter Milan before this game, they have every reason to be confident of upsetting the odds here again.

Tottenham haven’t won any of their last 8 visits to Arsenal in the Premier League or in domestic Cups.

This is the most competitive betting market of the weekend in the Premier League as both teams are separated by less than a quarter of a point.  As of publication (29/11/2018 23:00 BST), Arsenal are trading as favourites by the smallest of margins while a splash of cash for Tottenham could see them start the match as favourites.

Goal markets point to an exciting game as over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on.

Harry Kane is bookmakers favourite to score the first score and he is odds-on to score anytime during the game.

This game gets underway at 14:05 BST and is followed by the Merseyside derby.
