Arsenal vs Tottenham Preview
Recent results
Arsenal enter this match on the back of a dramatic 2-2 draw at Sunderland, though have won their last six matches at the Emirates across all competitions, keeping clean sheets in all of those games. Erling Haaland is the only opposition player to score at the Gunners’ stadium all season!
This is the third big match in a row for fifth-placed Spurs, having lost 1-0 to Chelsea and drawn 2-2 with Manchester United – both at home – in the previous two. But Frank’s side have fared far better away from home in 2025-26, winning four and drawing one of their five top-flight trips, a run which includes a 2-0 win at City.
Head-to-head record
This is a fixture which Arsenal have dominated in recent times, with Mikel Arteta’s men winning seven of the last nine Premier League editions – including the last three, with last season’s Emirates contest finishing 2-1 to the hosts.
Spurs have not beaten Arsenal away from home in the top flight since 2011, though did claim a 2-0 Emirates victory in the EFL Cup back in 2019.
Team news
Annoyingly for Arsenal, talismanic defender Gabriel Magalhaes picked up an injury on Brazil duty and is unavailable here, with one of Piero Hincapie or Cristhian Mosquera set to feature in his place. Kai Havertz has also suffered a setback in his recovery, while Viktor Gyokeres remains a serious doubt having missed the draw at Sunderland. But Martin Odegaard, Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli could return to the squad.
From a Spurs perspective, Pape Sarr is a doubt after suffering a knock with Senegal, while Mohammed Kudus and Lucas Bergvall are still fitness concerns after missing the match vs United. Dominic Solanke, James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski remain on the treatment table.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Arsenal are huge favourites ahead of kick-off, priced at just 1.39 to claim the win. A victory for Spurs is at odds of 7.60, while the draw is 4.60.
Arsenal vs Tottenham Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 2.02
Yes, we know Arsenal are a machine from a defensive standpoint, but historical data – combined with Gabriel’s unfortunate absence – suggests this selection is worth a punt. Both teams have scored in each of the last five North London derbies at the Emirates, and Spurs have only failed to find the back of the net in two Premier League matches this season.
Anytime goalscorer – Eberechi Eze @ 3.00
After the summer transfer saga involving Eze, Arsenal and Spurs, a derby strike from the mercurial playmaker just feels inevitable. He already has a ‘narrative’ goal against former club Crystal Palace in 2025-26, and was also on target for England in the recent 2-0 win over Serbia at Wembley.
Declan Rice to have over 0.5 shots on target @ 2.50
Rice has two Premier League goals this season, and seems to be shining in a more advanced role, with Martin Zubimendi sweeping up behind them. Rice has also recorded four shots on target in his previous five top-flight appearances, so the odds here look fantastic.
