Tottenham vs Arsenal FC: Prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds

Arsenal need to respond after they suffered a title setback at Wolves and then Manchester City beat Newcastle to pile the pressure on them at the top of the Premier League.

That win for City yesterday means Pep Guardiola’s side have closed the gap to the Gunners to two points.

Spurs will hope to be lifted by the appointment of Igor Tudor, who takes charge of his first game since being appointed to replace Thomas Frank.

Tudor is expected to go with a back three formation for his first game in charge of Tottenham, though he will be working with a light squad.

Odobert joins James Maddison, Ben Davies, Dejan Kulusevski, Rodrigo Bentancur, Mohammed Kudus, Destiny Udogie, Kevin Danso and Lucas Bergvall in missing the north London derby.

Cristian Romero serves the second of his four-match suspension, and Pedro Porro and Richarlison remain sidelined.

Mikel Arteta has is hopeful of having captain Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz available in what would be a huge double injury boost.

Mikel Merino is definitely sidelined after undergoing surgery that places any further involvement this season in doubt, while youngster Max Dowman is back in training after an ankle injury.

Usually the form book goes out of the window for a derby fixture. However, the appointment of Tudor means this clash has entered unknown territory as it’s nearly impossible to predict what Spurs side will show up.

The fact that Tottenham have been poor at home in the league this season, coupled with Tudor not having much time with his players in training and their injury situation, all roads point to an Arsenal win.

However, the Gunners have stumbled in the league recently and a run of two wins in seven suggests the wheels are beginning to fall off.

Arsenal are unbeaten against Spurs since May 2022, winning all but one of the last seven meetings which includes three straight victories at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
