Arsenal vs Tottenham predictions

This is the first North London derby of the season and it promises to be an exciting game to watch for the neutrals. Here are our three predictions for the match.

Prediction 1: Arsenal to win

Arsenal have been superb and one of the title contenders this season. The Gunners side have been highly consistent and they did the double over their neighbours last season.

The Gunners have won four out of the last five Premier League fixtures between these two sides. Mikel Arteta has a perfect 3/3 record in home league meetings against Spurs and should he win again on Sunday, 

Prediction 2: Arsenal to score over 1.5 goals

Arsenal have been proficient in front of goal this season. Apart from the hard fought win over Everton, they have scored at least two goals in every game. The last time they failed to score twice against Spurs at home was in 2018.

Prediction 3:Over 2.5 Total Goals

This is a high scoring fixture right from time and also considering that the two teams have been scoring a lot this season, it has goals written over it.

Arsenal are fresh from a 4-0 victory over PSV in the Champions League in midweek and will be eager to make another statement victory against fierce opposition.
