The first North London derby of the season takes place at a roaring Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon , as Ange Postecoglou's Spurs and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal face off in a crucial Premier League clash .
Spurs come into this match after a narrow 2-1 loss to Newcastle United, while Arsenal dropped their first points of the season in a controversial 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion.
Tottenham Hotspur fell to Newcastle United in their last outing at St. James’ Park, continuing their struggles on that ground . Goals from Harvey Barnes and Alexander Isak overcame a Dan Burn own goal, resulting in Spurs’ first defeat of the season. Despite dominating possession and play , Tottenham failed to capitalize on their chances, a familiar story from their earlier games.
Before their loss to Newcastle, Spurs demolished Everton 4-0 at home, but the inconsistency in their finishing continues to plague them. Now sitting mid-table in 10th place, Tottenham will be hoping to break their win-loss pattern at home since April. With one win already secured at home this season, Spurs aim to continue their momentum against their fierce rivals.
Meanwhile, Arsenal were left frustrated after a 1-1 draw against Brighton, which ended their perfect start to the season . Declan Rice's highly controversial second yellow card dominated the headlines, as his sending-off allowed Brighton to come back into the match. Kai Havertz had given Arsenal the lead with a delicate lob, but Joao Pedro's equalizer ensured the Gunners dropped two points.
Now fourth in the Premier League table, Arsenal sit just two points behind Manchester City and Liverpool. Arteta’s men have won their last two away games against Spurs , but a win on Sunday would be historic, as they’ve never triumphed three times in a row at Tottenham during the Premier League era.
Team News:
Tottenham Hotspur:
Richarlison remains out due to a muscle injury , but there’s hope that Dominic Solanke will recover in time to start up front. Yves Bissouma picked up a knock during the international break, but Postecoglou is optimistic that Micky van de Ven will recover from a knee problem to feature.
In midfield, Rodrigo Bentancur may be called upon to anchor the team, especially with Bissouma’s fitness in doubt. Son Heung-min, who has scored eight times in North London derbies, will be a crucial attacking threat alongside James Maddison.
Arsenal:
Arsenal's midfield is in crisis, with Declan Rice suspended and both Martin Ødegaard and Mikel Merino sidelined due to injuries. Ødegaard sprained his ankle on international duty, while Merino is out with a shoulder problem. Kieran Tierney (hamstring) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (thigh) are also out, adding to Arsenal’s woes.
Arteta may shift Kai Havertz into midfield alongside Thomas Partey and Jorginho. Up front, Gabriel Jesus is a doubt with a groin issue, meaning either Leandro Trossard or Raheem Sterling could lead the line. Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli will flank the striker, providing pace and width.
Key Players:
Tottenham Hotspur:
- Son Heung-min: Son has a brilliant record in North London derbies, and his speed, finishing, and leadership will be vital for Spurs.
- James Maddison: The creative playmaker will be key to unlocking Arsenal’s defense with his vision and passing.
Arsenal:
- Bukayo Saka: Arsenal’s star winger will be the Gunners’ main attacking outlet. His ability to run at defenders and deliver dangerous balls into the box makes him a constant threat.
- Kai Havertz: With Arsenal’s midfield depleted, Havertz will likely play a deeper role, where his composure and technical skills will be critical in retaining possession and controlling the game.
Possible Lineups:
Ange Postecoglou , the Tottenham Hotspur manager will likely go with the 4-2-3-1 formation with Vicario in goal. A defensive backline of Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, and Udogie. Sarr, and Bentancur in the holding midfield with Kulusevski, Maddison, and Son in attacking midfield . Solanke will be upfront as the main striker.
Mikel Arteta , the Arsenal manager , is likely to go with the 4-3-3 formation with Raya in goal. A defensive backline of White, Saliba, Gabriel, and Timber. Havertz, Partey, and Jorginho in the midfield area with Saka, Jesus, and Martinelli in attack.
Prediction:
Arsenal’s midfield injuries and suspensions could leave them vulnerable to Tottenham's pressing and physicality. While Arteta's side will still pose a threat with their pace up front, Spurs’ home advantage and Arsenal’s current selection crisis may see the Lilywhites edge this one.
