Arsenal did the double over Spurs a season ago, and the two sides played out a 2-2 draw at the Emirates earlier in the season. Tottenham showed good character by coming from behind twice to salvage a point. They haven’t lost back-to-back home league games to Arsenal since 1988.
Mikel Arteta’s side enters the weekend as the league leader and can put Manchester City under pressure again as the defending champions play after Arsenal on Sunday.
It’s been a great campaign for Arsenal, and the team has bounced back well from a recent slip-up against Aston Villa, beating Wolves and Chelsea with a combined score of 7-0.
Arsenal’s defense has been rock-solid all season and will have a key role to play again on Sunday. The Gunners boast a league-high 16 clean sheets in the Premier League this season, but they have never shut out Tottenham in two consecutive league matches away from home.
Meanwhile, Tottenham’s defense has been all over the place. Ange Postecoglou hasn’t seen his side keep a clean sheet in 12 consecutive home outings, which is Tottenham’s worst run in the Premier League since 2003.
Postecoglou will need his attacking players to be at the top of their game on Sunday. Son Heung-min is looking to become only the second player to score multiple goals in both North London derbies in a single league campaign.
The Arsenal attack has been very sharp over the latter half of the season. Seven players have netted at least five times in the league for the team, and Leandro Trossard has been leading the way lately with three goals in his last four Premier League outings.
Trossard is expected to make his fourth consecutive league start, joining Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka up front. The latter has a chance to become the first English player to score against Tottenham home and away in a single season since Ian Wright in 1993-94.
