The bookmakers make Arsenal narrow favourites to win the North London derby against Tottenham this afternoon.
14:00 Sunday
The main event of the weekend takes place on Sunday when Tottenham take on Arsenal in the North London Derby.
Tottenham vs Arsenal Prediction
- The marquee Premier League fixture from the weekend's action, Tottenham will hope to really get their season up and running here as they welcome rivals Arsenal to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
- Spurs have picked up just four points from their opening three games, having drawn at Leicester and lost to Newcastle, despite dominating both matches.
- They don't have the best recent record against Arsenal having lost their last two home meetings with the Gunners.
- Mikel Arteta's men dropped points at home against Brighton prior to the international break, and the draw with the Seagulls came at a cost with Declan Rice now suspended.
- With Mikel Merino and captain Martin Odegaard also absent through injury, Arsenal suddenly look light in the middle of the park.
- That said, Arsenal remain a threat from set-pieces, one of Spurs' weaknesses, and this route to goal could help the Gunners get back to winning ways.
Score Prediction: Tottenham 2-3 Arsenal
