Intro
The North London derby takes centre stage on Sunday as Tottenham host Arsenal in one of the standout fixtures on the Premier League calendar.
Both teams head into this mouthwatering clash on the back of frustrating results, and a chance to get one over their rivals can reignite a return to form - as well as secure the bragging rights.
Frustrating start for Spurs
It has been a sluggish start to the Premier League campaign for Spurs. Despite dominating against Leicester, they failed to punish Steve Cooper's new side and only came away from the King Power with a point. A convincing win against Everton lifted the mood around the camp but a defeat on the road against Newcastle saw frustrations creep in once more.
With Dominic Solanke transferred in for £60m, Spurs finally have their Harry Kane replacement and fans will certainly be hoping that the former Bournemouth man can help carry Spurs up the table as the season progresses - and hopefully against Arsenal.
Arsenal missing key players
Arsenal remain unbeaten after their opening three matches (W2 D1) but head into this key fixture with plenty of absences. Mikel Merino, club captain Martin Odegaard, Declan Rice, Gabriel Jesus and Riccardo Calafiori will all be watching from the sidelines.
Odegaard picked up an ankle injury on international duty that will keep him out for three weeks, while Rice's red card against Brighton means he will serve a one match ban. Although Spurs haven't been in the best of form, these missing players will weaken Arsenal's hopes of three points.
History favours the Red side of London
Spurs have only won 15 of the 65 North London derbies and it is a fixture that has belonged to Arsenal for numerous years. Arsenal have won three of their last five head-to-heads, only losing once back in 2022 - although that was a 3-0 defeat at White Hart Lane.
Last season, Arsenal came away with all three points with a 3-2 victory. Having raced into a 3-0 lead at half-time, Spurs fought back but were unable to complete the turnaround. If the two sides produce a similar performance, the neutrals are in for a treat.
Tottenham had the sixth best home form last campaign, collecting 39 points from 19 matches. However, Arsenal won 42 points from 19 away games, and Mikel Arteta has instilled confidence throughout his team to challenge Man City for the title.

Rice's red card impacted Arsenal collecting nine points from nine this season, and as we've mentioned, his absence will be a huge loss in the middle of the park. The good news for Arsenal fans is they haven't lost since mid-April away to Bayern Munich in the Champions League (1-0), and they have become an extremely difficult team to break down.
Despite a depleted midfield, a front line of Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz and Gabriel Martinelli can very much hurt Tottenham's defence if they game becomes stretched at any point.

Our Betting Tip for Today
With Spurs stuttering at the start of the season and with Arsenal missing key players, this fiesty looking fixture looks sure to open up and goals will be our main focus this weekend.
Fireworks in North London
Although Spurs have dropped valuable points already, they have managed to score six goals in their three opening Premier League games - including four at home against Everton.
Admittedly, Arsenal will prove to be a stronger test than Sean Dyche's side, but with a huge hole in the middle of their midfield, Ange Postecoglou won't have a better opportunity to carve open the Gunners.
Yet Arsenal are far from a two man team. Yes, Odegaard and Rice will be a huge miss, but both Havertz and Saka have started the season in strong form, and Spurs will struggle to deal with the pair if they are in the mood on Sunday afternoon.
Let's not forget this is a North London derby. In the last five meetings, both teams have found the back of the net in three of them. Four of those have produced at least three goals. It would be a surprise if that trend comes to an end in round four of this 2024/24 campaign.
With that in mind, we believe the neutral will be in for a treat. Using the bet builder option, you can back over 2.5 goals and both teams to score at 4/5 with bet365.
