Arsenal vs Tottenham Match preview

England - Premier League: Arsenal vs Tottenham

This is certainly the biggest game of the round, as fierce rivals Arsenal and Tottenham will battle for the precious points. Arsenal battled hard to earn all three points against West Ham and the win in this match could get them back in the title race. Tottenham’s first win of the season couldn’t have come in the better time and the atmosphere in the team will be considerably improved before the North London derby.

Arsenal had to work hard against West Ham

Arsenal won their third game in a row, having beaten West Ham at Upton Park. Arsene Wenger had a lot of problems in defense over the last weeks and had to improvise a lot. However, the team continued with great attacking performances, which led to team scoring 10 goals in the last three games. Arsenal was unable to take control of the pulsating match at Upton Park where both sides had enough chances to win the game. The introduction of Adebayor midway through the second half proved decisive for the outcome of the game and Arsenal emerged victorious in the end. Wenger will probably be able to count on his strongest defense, as Gallas, Toure and Sagna have recovered from injuries, while Adebayor and Denilson will be restored to the starting line-up. The return of regular defenders will be a big boost for the team, as Arsenal wants to win this game and stay close to leaders Liverpool, as the Gunners still have title hopes.

Spurs started brightly under Redknapp

The appointment of Harry Redknapp produced immediate results, as the Spurs finally recorded the first win in the match against Bolton. The results took some pressure of the players and Redknapp will have healthy working atmosphere in his first days in charge. The win over Bolton is also very important as it came few days before the big derby with Arsenal and the players will be in high spirits before the match at the Emirates. Redknapp decided to restore Bently to the starting line-up for the game against Bolton and Bentley repaid him by sending a perfect cross for Pavlichenko to slot home early in the first half before Bent scored from the penalty spot. Spurs fans had one more reason to cheer, as captain Ledley King played his second game in a row and showed that his injury is finally behind him. With Dawson still suspended, King will most likely start the game. New manager will have Gareth Bale back after suspension and young full back will get straight back to the starting eleven.

Betting verdict

This will be a very intense affair and it is going to be very difficult to predict the winner. Current form plays no part in these kinds of matches, which is why we are surprised with extremely low odds on home win. Tottenham is boosted with their first win and all the players will give their best in order to impress the new manager, although they don’t need any special motivation for the game like this. Considering all this maybe you should try with double chance on Tottenham.
