All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Tottenham and Arsenal face each other in the North London derby. As Spurs suit Mikel Artetaâs men, our prediction points toward a 2-1 away win. Thomas Frank is no longer in charge of Tottenham, with Igor Tudor taking over the reins as interim boss. Spurs are low on confidence following back-to-back losses to Man Utd and Newcastle United and given their win rate of 17% at home, we are not tempted to bet on the underdogs. Adding to their woes, key defender Cristian Romero misses out through suspension.The Gunners, on the other hand, dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Brentford and, as a result, they are now only two points above second-place Man City. As Arsenal have been scoring 2.20 goals per away game of late, it is no wonder that bookies see them as hot favourites to win the local derby. Mikel Arteta rested several first-team regulars in a 4-0 FA Cup win over Wigan, but the Spanish tactician is going to field the best possible side against Tottenham. Both Mikel Merino and Kai Havertz remain in the recovery room, but should not be sorely missed.
