Arsenal vs Tottenham today: The Battle of the North London Giants




The Emirates Stadium will be rocking on Sunday as Arsenal take on Tottenham Hotspur in one of the most highly anticipated matches of the Premier League season.

The two North London rivals are separated by just two points in the table, with Arsenal sitting in fourth and Tottenham in sixth. A win for either side would be a major boost in the race for Champions League qualification.

Arsenal come into the match in good form, having won their last three league games. They will be looking to extend that run against a Tottenham side that has been inconsistent this season.

Tottenham have won just two of their last five league games, but they will be hoping to get back to winning ways against their bitter rivals.

Key players to watch
  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Arsenal): The Gabon international is Arsenal's leading scorer this season with 19 goals in all competitions. He will be looking to add to his tally against Tottenham.
  • Harry Kane (Tottenham): The England captain is Tottenham's danger man, having scored 17 goals in all competitions this season. He will be looking to lead his team to victory against Arsenal.
  • Mesut Ozil (Arsenal): The German playmaker is Arsenal's creative spark. He will be looking to provide the ammunition for Aubameyang and Lacazette.
  • Dele Alli (Tottenham): The England midfielder is Tottenham's most creative player. He will be looking to create chances for Kane and Son.
Prediction

This is a tough match to call, but I think Arsenal will just edge it. They are in better form at the moment and they have a good record against Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium.

I'm going for a 2-1 win for Arsenal.
