Tottenham vs Arsenal Prediction

This clash was originally planned for January but was canceled due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Arsenal camp. The fact it’s being played now – with three games to go and the pair locked in battle for the fourth Champions League place – has added to the drama of what is always a massive event.

With just four points and one place separating these two bitter rivals, Spurs’ good form coming into this game gives them a genuine chance of closing the gap to one. And with them having (on paper at least) the two easier final games, Antonio Conte’s men are still in with a genuine shout of landing that final Champions League slot.

Son and Kane the EPL’s Most In-form Duo

In what has been an up-and-down season for Tottenham, their top-four chances looked to have faded when in consecutive weeks in April they lost at home to Brighton and then drew at Brentford, but were resurrected by a fine 3-1 home win over Leicester and then an even more outstanding 1-1 draw at Anfield – one that threw the EPL title race wide open.

Spurs’ coach Antonio Conte has a poor record against Arsenal – just one win in eight – and will be acutely aware that his team has managed just one clean sheet in their last seven EPL games, but will also know that in Harry Kane and Son Heing-min he possesses arguably the most lethal and in-form striking duo in the EPL.

Tottenham vs Arsenal Head-to-Head Stats

The Biggest North London Derby in Years

The chance of securing Champions League soccer on the patch of their greatest rivals is already a massive incentive for the Gooners, but to do so at Spurs’ expense would be in fairytale territory. That’s why many are labeling this the biggest North London derby in years.

Mikel Arteta’s men are just 90 minutes away from achieving that dream, with a win opening up the gap between them and Spurs to seven with two to play. They have put themselves in this position with a run of four consecutive wins, which includes victories over Chelsea and Manchester United, and so they head to Tottenham in great form.

Spurs Unbeaten in Six Against Gunners at Home

Even if they lose, Arteta’s men will still hold a one-point advantage but, as mentioned earlier, with games against Newcastle and Everton to come they will want to get the job done as soon as possible because Spurs’ two remaining games are against lowly Burnley and already-relegated Norwich.

Arsenal won 3-1 in the reverse fixture back in September but Spurs have a great record in this game on their own turf and are unbeaten in six against the Gunners at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
