Tottenham vs Arsenal Match Preview, Prediction and Expert Betting Tips: Spurs to Keep the Heat on Chelsea with Win over Arsenal

Match Preview – 16:30 Kick-Off at White Hart Lane, London

Title challenging Tottenham look set to finish above their North London rivals Arsenal for the first time in over 20 years. Sunday’s North London Derby is an ideal opportunity for Spurs to demonstrate just how much of a gap there is between the sides at the moment and compound Arsenal’s Premier League woes in the process. Spurs have won 8 Premier League games on the spin, pushing Chelsea all the way to the finish line in the race for the title.

Arsenal needed a large slice of luck in the form of a Robert Huth own goal to beat Leicester in midweek, but the victory made it 3 Premier League win in 4 for Wenger’s troops. Arsenal also secured a morale-boosting FA Semi Final win over Manchester City to book a place at Wembley last weekend to enhance the feel good factor at the Emirates. The Gunners have only won 6 of their 16 away games this season.

In the reverse fixture between the teams back in early November, the points were shared in a 1-1 stalemate at the Emirates. Read our North London Derby match prediction, selected odds and Tottenham vs Arsenal betting tips below.

Tottenham vs Arsenal Predictions

Although Arsenal’s league performances have looked better recently on paper, in reality, they have still looked nervy and disjointed for the most part. There will be fear in their ranks ahead of their trip to a Tottenham side who look electric and doggedly determined in equal measure. Spurs will smell that fear and go in for the kill early. I expect Tottenham to overpower Arsenal to send the home fans into raptures.

Bet365 have odds of 4/5 for both teams to score over 2.5 goals in the game. If you find those odds too narrow for your liking, you can get odds of 3/1 for Tottenham to win with over 3.5 goals to be scored with the same bookmaker. That could be worth a gamble.
